Creating a Realistic Cat Drawing Using Functions on a Graphing Calculator

In summary, the conversation is about a project where the person is making a picture using functions on a graphing calculator. They are creating a picture of a cat and are having trouble making a sideways ellipse in the eye and getting rid of lines going through the face. They share the equations they have so far and mention trouble with the abs function and using values to move the ellipse. They are seeking suggestions to fix these issues.

Homework Statement


Uhmm i just started this project where i have to make a picture using functions on a graphing calcutator I am doing a kitty kat so far I am stuck on two things once is making a sideways elipse inside the eye so the cat looks more realistic another is getting rid of the lines going through the face of my cat some suggestions to fix these would be nice


Homework Equations


here are the equations i have so far
fyi there are alot
: Clr Draw
: DrawF -sqrrt(18-(x-5)sqd)+6
:DrawF sqrt(18-(x-5)sqd)+4
:DrawF √1.2-(x-3)sqd)+6
:DrawF-√1.2-(x-3)sqd)+6.5
:Line (4,3,5,4)
:Line (6,3,5,4)
:Line (5,5,5,4)
:DrawF -√1.2-(x-7)sqd)+6.5
:DrawF √1.2-(x-7)sqd)+6
:DrawF -abs(5(x-2))+10
:DrawF -3(x-2)sqd)+3.4
:DrawF(-abs(4(x-2))+9.5)/(x≥1.323)/(x≤2.426)* trouble with this one
:DrawF(-abs(5(x-8))+10* work in progress
:Line (7,4,8,5)
:Line (3,4,2,5)
:Line (2,3,3,4)
:Line (8,4,7,4)
:Line (3,4,2,3)
:Line (7,4,8,3)
:DrawF -3(x-8)sqd+3.4
Doneee

The Attempt at a Solution


confused with the abs function i did it the way they showed us in the book and it still doesn't work also making a sideways elipse i was told to switch the values that make them move left,right up,down but that would mean i would have to move the thing under the root right?:confused:

what i mean is if i move the root for example the first one -sqrrt(18-(x-5)sqd)+6 if i move root 18 and switch it with -5 wouldn't i have to move the whole root so how could i do that without changing the elipse too drastically
