into the variable EQ.
These equations we recognize as those of a circle centered at (1,2) with
radius √3, and of an ellipse centered at (0,0) with semi-axis lengths a = 2 and
b = √3.
Enter the PLOT environment, by pressing „ô, simultaneously if in
RPN mode, and select Conic as the TYPE. The list of equations will be
listed in the EQ field.
Make sure that the independent variable (Indep) is set to 'X' and the
dependent variable (Depnd) to 'Y'.

based on what we know about the curves. For example, for the equations
shown above, we know that the circle will extend from -3+1 = -2 to 3+1 = 4
in x, and from -3+2=-1 to 3+2=5 in y. In addition, the ellipse, which is
