For my Desmos project I started with my shoes and made it the origin of the graph. Then I worked upward and did the legs and did the body neck and head. Each of those were quite easy until I did the hair. The hair was a bit hard to do because I wasn’t sure which function I should choose but I found that a quadratic function resembled my straight hair quite well. Afterwards, I wanted to change my shoe shape so I did, which then made my legs the origin instead. I had troubles shading certain areas on my graph but I ended up figuring out exactly how to do it from a classmate which helped me for the rest of my project. I also had troubles doing the inverse with some of the functions but I ended up figuring it out on paper. An aha moment that I had was how the restrictions applied to the equations and actually seeing how it affected the graph made me understand functions more. As well as using transformations and how easily you can apply it to a previous function. After doing it for a while it made the rest of the project a lot easier like the snowman and the letters. I also learned throughout the project how to shorten a function using the x values as restrictions which made it easier depending if I was using x or y.
