Answer

$(0, 0)$ $(3, \sqrt 3)$ $(3, -\sqrt 3)$

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $x^2 + y^2 = 4x$ 2. $x = y^2$ It asks to find all solutions. Substitute $x = y^2$ $x^2 + x = 4x$ $x^2 - 3x = 0$ $x (x-3) = 0$ $x = 0, 3$ Substitute the values into the equation $0^2 + y^2 = 4(0)$ $y = 0$ $3^2 + y^2 = 4(3)$ $y^2 = 3 $ $y = +/- \sqrt 3$ All solutions: $(0, 0)$ $(3, \sqrt 3)$ $(3, -\sqrt 3)$
