Is it a desktop computer?

It could be called one.  It is designed to fit on top of a desk.

Is it still in use?

Not commonly.  I suppose someone somewhere might have one that’s still in working condition, though.

Yes.  That was one of the options.

Did IBM make it?

Yes.

Is it a word processor?

No.

Is it used to help solve equations?

I suppose it could have been programmed for that, but it was more of a general purpose computer.
