Question 1055157
 What's the distance between the parabola y = x^2+4 and x = y^2 ? 
----
General points::
Parabola points:: (x, x^2+4)
Parabola points:: (y^2, y)
---------------------------------
distance = sqrt[(x-y)^2 + (x^2+4-y)^2]
---------------
distance = sqrt[x^2 - 2xy + y^2 + (x^2+4)^2 - 2y(x^2+4) + y^2]
-----]
distance = sqrt[x^2 - 2xy + y^2 + x^4 + 8x^2 + 16 - 2x^2y - 8y + y^2]
----------------
distance = sqrt[x^4 + 9x^2 -2xy - 2x^2y + 2y^2 - 2y + 16]
