To make my art I used a variety of functions. To make the hair on my smiley face I used to different quadratic functions, then I had to flip the function to move it to the top of the head, and to do that I added a negative number in front of the x^2, then moved it up by adding a 4 to the end of the problem, to fit the hair around the face I made the number in front of the x^2 smaller than 1. To make the second piece of hair I did the exact same thing but used different numbers so it wouldn't be the exact same function. I then added a mustache to the graph, to do this I did a sine function to make line shorter I made the number out front a decimal and then subtracted 1 from the end to move the line down. Next I added a hat to my smiley face. To make the bottom of the hat I used a constant function and added 4 so it would sit at the top of the head. To make the sides of the hat I used two identity functions, to move the sides to match up the the end of the hat I put a positive 2 in front of the x on the left function and then a negative 2 on the right function, then for both I added a 15 on the end of the function. Finally I added two earrings on either side of the smiley face, I'm not sure what to call this type of function, but to move the earrings to the sides of the head I subtracted from the x to move it to the right and added to move it to the left, but I did nothing with the y to keep it on the x-axis. Also, for the hair and the hat I added something like this 1< X<1 to cut the line to a certain point so they ended and didn't continue on. The hardest part of doing this assignment was to figure out what to added to my smiley face, also it was hard to move the functions to where I needed them and I had to play around a lot just to get it in the correct spot.
