x^2 + y^2 =4
x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Algebra solution 

You are given

 =4,
 = 9


It is the same as

 = 4,                (1)
 = 9.           (2)


Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)  (both sides). You will get

2y + 1 = 9-4,  or

2y = 4.                    (3)

Hence, y =  = 2.

Then from (1) you have x = 0.


Answer.  There is one and only one solution  x= 0,  y= 2.


Geometry solution 

Equation (1) represents the circle of the radius 2 centered at the origin of the coordinate system.

Equation (2) represents the circle of the radius 3 centered at the point (0,-1), which lies in the y-axis 1 unit below the origin.

The two circles have only one common point (0,2), where the smaller circle touches the larger circle internally.


So the point (0,2) is the unique solution to the given system of equations.
