This graphing calculator is accessible throughout the entire math section, enabling both quick calculations and complex function graphing. In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Desmos to your advantage on the SAT.  \nWhat is Desmos?  \nDesmos is a versatile online graphing calculator. It provides a dynamic platform where users can create, visualize, and analyze mathematical graphs and functions. Desmos allows for the easy input and editing of equations, graph manipulation using sliders, and the ability to graph inequalities.  \nAccessing Desmos on the SAT  \n Accessing Desmos on the SAT is extremely simple, and you have access to this digital calculator the entire duration of the math section.  \n To access this calculator, simply press the calculator icon and the Desmos calculator will be pulled up on the screen.  \nSource: [https://www.applerouth.com/blog/key-features-of-college-boards-bluebook-app](https://www.applerouth.com/blog/key-features-of-college-boards-bluebook-app)  \nFeatures  \n Basics: You can use Desmos to complete basic computations. You can take the square root with the radical sign (or type “sqrt”), raise numbers to a power with the a^2 (to square a base) or a^b (to raise a base to a power that is not 2) features, and take the absolute value of a number or equation with the |a | button. Of course, you can do basic computations as well, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and, on the SAT, you may want to use Desmos to solve basic calculations as doing them by hand can waste time.  \nGraphing Functions  \n Inputting and editing equations: To input an equation, simply type with your device’s keyboard or press the corresponding buttons on the Desmos screen. For example, to write an equation for a line, you might write 3x + 4 or (you do not need to write the “y =”part, but doing so leads to the same answer as well) or x + y = 1, and then that line will be shown on the screen. You can graph any function just like you would on your handheld graphing calculator. You can also graph different functions and they will be shown on the same screen in different colors  \nViewing and interpreting graphs: To view different points on a graph, simply click and scroll along the graph. Desmos will show important points (intersections, minimums or maximums, etc) with a grey point that you can click on to identify the values. You can zoom in or out on the graph by using two fingers or by pressing the + and- icons in the upper right corner.  \nUsing Desmos to Your Advantage on the SAT: A Comprehensive Guide  \n[www.acely.com](www.acely.com)  \nTrigonometry functions: Desmos also provides the ability to calculate trigonometric equations. To access these functions, simply click the “functions” tab and find the “trig functions” label. Underneath will contain sin (sine), cos (cosine), tan (tangent), csc (cosecant), sec (secant), and cot (cotangent). To use these, click on your desired function and input the value you are evaluating.  \n When it comes to evaluating trigonometric functions, it is important to know if radians or degrees are required. The question will tell you which form, degrees or radians, to set Desmos. To change the form, click the wrench icon in the upper right corner and select either degrees or radians.  \nInequalities: Inequalities are another type of function that Desmos can help you solve within seconds. To solve, type in your inequality, using the greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to features on the Desmos keyboard. Then, Desmos will graph the answer. For example, if the answer is x \u003C 3, all values less than 3 will be shaded and there will be a dotted line","cbCaih585d6rKaWu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih585d6rKaWu","pdf",959269,"English","# Introduction\n## What is Desmos?\n## Accessing Desmos on the SAT\n# Features\n## Basics\n## Graphing Functions\n## Trigonometry functions\n## Inequalities\n## Quadratics\n# Interactive Sliders\n## Creating and using sliders to change variables\n# Utilizing Desmos on the SAT\n## Prior to test day\n## Desmos Shortcuts\n# When to Use Desmos","[{\"question\":\"What is Desmos and why is it useful for the SAT math section?\",\"answer\":\"Desmos is an online graphing calculator that lets students create, visualize, and analyze graphs and functions.
