What is the first step in using Desmos to compare expressions?

• Solve the expression manually

• Calculate the derivative

• Choose the correct answer

• Graph the original expression

How can you verify if an expression is equivalent using Desmos?

• By calculating the slope

• By determining the area under the curve

• By measuring the graph's height

• By checking if the graphs overlap

What was the correct answer for the first example question?

• Option A

• Option D

• Option B

• Option C

Why might you continue testing other options in Desmos even after finding a match?
