I want to see line 3 of [this](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yuactgjkgy) fully but it’s cut off because it’s too long. I was wondering if there are programs or websites I could paste it into to see all of it. I would use something like Google Docs but it doesn’t recognize a lot of the symbols and functions like integrals or exponents or lists.

You can also use the activity builder to look at it with a scroll bar. [teacher.desmos.com](http://teacher.desmos.com) handles latex copy pastes really well.

All I did was add a note to a blank screen, then hit ` to switch to equation mode, then ctrl-v to paste.

ctrl-a in desmos calculator works for selecting all when you want to copy paste your super long equations.

If you use the DesModder extension, there is a “Multi-Line Expression” option you can turn on, which will break up long expressions into multiple lines. I personally find it distracting to always have on, but I have used it for specific functions as your doing.
