Answer

$\{\ (0,2),\ (0,-2),\ (-1,\sqrt{3}),\ (-1,-\sqrt{3})\ \}$

Work Step by Step

1. Eliminating: Rewrite so the $y^{2}$ terms are lined up Eliminate the $( y^{2})$ terms: $\left\{\begin{array}{lll} x-y^{2}=-4 & , & / \\ x^{2}+y^{2}=4 & , & / add \end{array}\right.$ $x^{2}+x=0$ 2. Solving: $x^{2}+x=0$ $x(x+1)=0$ $x=0$ or $x+1=0$ 3. Back-substituting into $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$: $\left[\begin{array}{lll} x=0 & or & x=1\\ 0+y^{2}=4 & & 1+y^{2}=4 \\ y^{2}=4 & & y^{2}=3\\ y=\pm 2 & & y=\pm\sqrt{3}\\ & & \end{array}\right]$ The solution set is $\{\ (0,2),\ (0,-2),\ (-1,\sqrt{3}),\ (-1,-\sqrt{3})\ \}$
