How can i find the intercept points of these two equations (semi-circle and exponential):

y=\(\sqrt{4-(x-4)^2}+3\)

y=\(2^{x-4}+3\)

 

edit: Yes, i was missing the y=, thank you Melody

They are not equations   crying

Do you want y= out the front of them ?

Ah, i forgot about the 'y=' as i was getting myself confused with solving it as Eq1=Eq2, and i forgot i needed the y= at the beginning. Thank you

Well the first thing I did was check that they do intersect.

I did this by hand but here Desmos has done it.

 

ok so there are 2 points.

 

 

\(y=\sqrt{4-(x-4)^2}+3\\ y=2^{x-4}+3\\~\\ \sqrt{4-(x-4)^2}+3=2^{x-4}+3\\ \sqrt{4-(x-4)^2}=2^{x-4}\\ \sqrt{-x^2+8x-12}=2^{x-4}\\ 2^{4-x}\sqrt{-x^2+8x-12}=1\\ 2^{4-x}\sqrt{-x^2+8x-12}-1=0\\ \)

I don't know how to solve that ....

 

Here is what Wolfram|Alpha has to say about it.

That is it from me.  wink  frown
