Answer

$(2, \sqrt 2)$

Work Step by Step

$y= \sqrt x$ $x^2+y^2=6$ $x^2+y^2=6$ $x^2+(\sqrt x)^2=6$ $x^2+x=6$ $x^2+x-6=6-6$ $x^2+x-6=0$ $(x+3)(x-2)=0$ $x+3=0$ $x+3-3=0-3$ $x=-3$ This answer is not valid since we need to be able to take the square root of $x$. $x-2=0$ $x-2+2=0+2$ $x=2$ $x^2+y^2=6$ $2^2+y^2=6$ $4+y^2=6$ $4+y^2-4=6-4$ $y^2=2$ $\sqrt {y^2}=\sqrt 2$ $y = \sqrt 2$
