Multiply the second equation by 16



Add the two equations, term by term, to get:



Solve for

Substitute the roots for x in either equation and then solve for y. Discard one of the x-values because you get a complex number result for y. The remaining value of x paired with either of the two real roots for y are your two intersection points.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

.............(1)
.............(2).........both sides multiply by
-------------------------------------------
.............(1)
.............(2)
--------------------------------------------------------add


................both sides divide by
...........factor


solutions:

if ->
now find
go to .............(2) substitute
if we have -> or
so, if there are two intersection points :
(,) and (,)
if we have -> -> ->-> or -> complex solutions
or
