Your project for the next few weeks is to make an AWESOME art project with the free online graphing calculator Desmos, many of the functions from the Catalog of Essential Functions. You will have to practice transforming your functions and learn how to restrict your domains and ranges to make the graph just right. I've created a brief activity to introduce you to some of these techniques. If you want to do something that isn't shown in that activity, you can ask me, or ask in the discussion below, or look for answers on Learn Desmos (Links to an external site.).
Inequalities/shading are not required, but are certainly encouraged. Plotting points using a table is also cool. Bonus points for using sliders to animate parts of your picture.
Consider uploading a picture to Desmos and using functions to trace the various components.

Project Guidelines
Your project should use at least 10 different types of the following functions based on the Catalog of Essential Functions. You don’t have to use every one, but you should use a variety. If you can find other functions, awesome!
You will get 5 points for each different kind of function used, up to 50
You will also be graded on artistry, originality and the appropriate use of color.
