Find domain and range of the slanted hyperbola
Given the conic section Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0 and I know that it is a hyperbola and B0.
How to find its domain and range? I guess the method of Lagrange multipliers will fail here.

Explanation:
To find a range, fix y and consider a quadratic equation with respect to x:
Ax2+(By+D)x+C2y+Ey+F=0
If A=0 and B=0, there is x=C2+Ey+FD for each y and the domain is (,)(D0 , because, otherwise, the conic is degenerated).
If A=0 and B0, there is no x for y=DB, for other values of y it is x=C2+Ey+FBy+D and the domain is (,){DB}.
If A0, qudratic equation has at least one solution, when its discriminant d=(By+D)24A(C2+Ey+F)0.
So, we need to find y, for which (By+D)24A(C2+Ey+F)0.
Rewrite (B24AC)y2+(2BD4AE)y+D24AF0
If B24AC=0, then
1. If 2BD4AE=0, the range is (,) if D24AF0 and  otherwise.
2. The range is [D24AF2BD4AE,) if 2BD4AE>0.
3. The range is (,D24AF2BD4AE] if 2BD4AE<0.
The discriminant is d1=(2BD4AE)24(B24AC)(D24AF)
1. If d1<0, the range is (,) if B24AC>0 and  otherwise.
2. If d1=0, the range is (,) if B24AC>0 and {2BD4AE2(B24AC)} otherwise.
3. If d1>0, there are two roots y1=4AE2BDd12(B24AC) and y2=4AE2BD+d12(B24AC). The range is (,y1][y2,) if B24AC>0 and [y1,y2] otherwise.
