The holiday challenge!

[alkatran]

Make an equation that will draw a bell. It doesn't matter how it's rotated etc, anything on the bell (like a ribbon, haha that'd be hard) is ++points.

Ta-daa, I've even given you a stripe accross it!
Colour in at your own risk...



The bell part:



The ribbon part:



And the three straight lines (top down):





Note that you can even make the ribbon bigger/smaller by changing the value of c!

Merry Christmas

Nice!

Now, do it with one equation

[alkatran]

theorising here
sqr((X^3 + 1 + [sqr(X+1)^2-(x+1)] + [sqr(-x + 5)^2 - (-x + 5)])^2)

Now let me explain that.

the point of doing sqr(equation^2) is because we get both roots, so the bottom of the bell if below the line (mirrored from top).

the last 2 things I add, add 0 IF sqr(X + 1) is valid. Otherwise the equation is null and no point is draw. In a way, it's like saying X > -1.

It's probably a pretty messed up bell, I didn't look at it yet.

What horrible looking formulae. Ever since I've viewed a L^AT_EX document I hardly like looking at any other. Though, the formulae themselves are quite clever.
