You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Circle: x^2 + (y-9)^2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Ellipse: x^2/16 + (y-1)^2/49 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ellipse x 16: x^2 + (16/49)*(y-1)^2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Set the 2 eqns equal to each other, solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "y = 67/11 (Ignore y = 59/3)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Sub into original eqn
\n" ); document.write( "x = +- sqrt(912)/11 = ~ 2.74539
\n" ); document.write( "(-2.745,6.09),(+2.745,6.09)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
