sketch each system of equations. Then solve the system by the substitution method
x^2 + y^2=6
y=x^2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 = 6,     (1)
y = x%5E2.        (2)





Plots x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 = 6   and  y = x%5E2.



To solve the system, replace x%5E2 in the equation (1) by y, according to (1). You will get

y + y^2 = 6,         (3)   or

y%5E2+%2B+y+-+6 = 0,         (4)

(y+3)*(y-2) = 0  ====>  the roots are y%5B1%5D = -3  and  y%5B2%5D = 2.


Since y = x%5E2,  y must be positive, so only the root y = 2 survives.


Then x = +/- sqrt%282%29.


Answer. The solutions to the system  (1),(2)  are  (x,y) = (sqrt%282%29,2)  and  (x,y) = (-sqrt%282%29,2).
