Answer

$(4.78,218.67)$.

Work Step by Step

We set the two formulas equal and solve and solve for $x$. $$ \begin{aligned} 2 x^3 & =100 \sqrt{x} \\ \frac{x^3}{x^{1 / 2}} & =\frac{100}{2} \\ x^{5 / 2} & =50 \\ x & =(50)^{2 / 5}=4.78176 . \end{aligned} $$ The corresponding $y$ value is $$ y=100 \sqrt{4.78176}=218.672 $$ The coordinates of the point of intersection are $(4.78,218.67)$.
