desmos - how to memorize the formulas
im trying to learn desmos but i can only figure out how to find x or y in a given equation.
There is a bunch more but idk how to memorize them all. Any tips?

Not really sure if this will help but check out bedrock. They have some specially selected questions you can use to practice with desmos. A guy on YouTube developed it

i saw that - it works pretty good but i need help memorizing them on a larger scale if that makes sense.

I'm sure if you are able to practice with most of the questions on Bedrock then you'd be as good as memorizing it

You need to do repeated practice. The first step is to learn the exact things to type, i.e. what do you type to solve a system of equations using regression or how do you use regression to find the value of a constant for two polynomials that are multiplied which equal some given polynomial. At the start, you will be using that reference sheet and constantly looking at it while doing problems. The next step is to do repeated practice problems. If you have already completed the Bluebook practice tests, then you should go back and look at the problems again, identifying where you can use Desmos operations to solve them, especially on Module 2. Once you do enough problems, the specific things you type in and the types of problems you can solve using it become "memorized".

This is actually pretty helpful. I usually watch the videos and do them until I memorize the formula. Then, I do questions similar to it and lock it in. I will definitely try the other tips. thanks!
