Simple functions of one variable can be graphed in three ways:
Typing and then the equation
Typing the equation
Typing and then the equation
Mathinline body --uriencoded--x%5e2 Typing
and then the equationMathinline body y= Mathinline body --uriencoded--x%5e3 Typing
and then the equationMathinline body f(x)= Mathinline body --uriencoded--\frac%7Bx%5e2%7D%7B7%7D
Functions can be hidden from the graph by clicking the colored circle to the left of their equation.
Functions can be functions of other functions. For example:
...
x^{2}}{\displaystyleMathinline body --uriencoded-- f(x)= x%5e%7B2%7D
}Mathinline body g(x)=f(x+1)
Functions can be graphed with x in terms of y: {\displaystyle x={\sqrt {1-y^{2}}}}
...
Functions can be of multiple variables. For example, {\displaystyle

Parametric Equations
In Desmos you can graph parametric equations. The standard form of this is {\displaystyle (f(t),g(t))}. For example, {\displaystyle (sin(2t),cos(3t))}. It is necessary to use the variable {\displaystyle t} in order for the equation to be interpreted as a parametric equation.
