List all of the possible numbers of intersection points for the following systems(it might help to draw the picture)

A) A line and a parabola.
Zero to 2.
--------

B) Two parabolas.
0 to 4
-----
c) A parabola and ellipse.
0 to 4
-------

D) An ellipse and a hyperbola.
0 to 4
===========================
A (straight) line is 1st order.
All the other functions are 2nd order.
The max # of intersections is the product of the 2 orders.

1*2 = 2
2*2 = 4
