Remember, one equation–not two!
Can you create the following graph using desmos.com or some other graphing tool? If you’re victorious, leave us a note in the comments when you’re done.
I think I have it. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/u6qa9xj5w7
Awesome! That’s exactly the way I wrote the equation.
Your process looks interesting. Would you annotate the graph you linked, or leave a comment about your thinking process? I’m way curious.
And thanks for playing!
I knew there had to be some type of square-rooting going on to produce two outputs for each input (e.g., a circle; x^2+y^2=1). https://www.desmos.com/calculator/rppvaee4xo
I then finally realized that y^n*x^0=1 produced two parallel lines, but with a slope of zero. It took me forever to figure out how to rotate it. I finally figured out though that it must take place after you find the square root, so the x must be in the parenthesis.
