\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Find the $\"\"$ -intercept by substituting $\"\"$ in the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Take square root each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ or $\"\"$

\

The equation has two solutions $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ -intercepts are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Find the $\"\"$ -intercept by substituting $\"\"$ in the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ = undefined.

\

There is no $\"\"$ -intercept.

\

\

Test algebraically symmetric with respect the $\"\"$ -axis:

\

Substitute $\"\"$ for $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Because $\"\"$ is not equivalent to $\"\"$ , the graph is not symmetric with respect to the $\"\"$ -axis.

\

\

Test algebraically symmetric with respect to the $\"\"$ -axis:

\

Substitute $\"\"$ for $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Because $\"\"$ is not equivalent to $\"\"$ , the graph is not symmetric with respect to the $\"\"$ -axis.

\

\

Test algebraically symmetric with respect to the origin:

\

Substitute $\"\"$ for $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ for $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Because $\"\"$ is equivalent to $\"\"$ , the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

\

$\"\"$

\

Intercepts are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Symmetric with respect to the origin.
