Identify the conic section. Then give the center, intercepts, domain, and range of each graph.

  1. A conic section centered at the origin, passes through the points (negative 3, 0), (0, 2), (3, 0), and (0, negative 2). All values are approximate.
  2. A conic section with two branches. The top branch falls through (negative 4, 4) to (0, 2), and then rises through (4, 4). The bottom branch rises through (negative 4, negative 4) to (0, negative 2), and then falls through (4, negative 4). All values are approximate.
  3. A conic section centered at the origin, passes through the points (negative 6, 0), (0, 3), (6, 0), (0, negative 3). All values are approximate.
  4. A conic section has two branches. The right one rises through (negative 4, negative 2), (negative 3, 0), and (negative 4, 2). The left one falls through (4, 2), (3, 0), and (4, negative 2). All values are approximate.
  5. A conic section, centered at the origin passes through the points (negative 3, 0), (0, 5), (3, 0), and (0, negative 5). All values are approximate.
  6. A conic section has two branches. The top branch falls through (negative 2, 4) to (0, 3), and rises through (2, 4). The bottom rises through (negative 2, negative 4) to (0, negative 3), and falls through (2, negative 4). All values are approximate.
