This equation worked beautifully for the top half. The bottom half is symmetric (y negative). Once I had ( y = f(x) ) for the upper half (from ( x = -L/2 ) to ( x = +L/2 )), I used: IB Math AA/AI HL/SL (around the x-axis): [

A circle fails (too symmetric). An ellipse is closer but misses the asymmetry. After some research, I found the , which models an egg’s profile in Cartesian coordinates: I found the
