Answer

$(0,2),(0,-2)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+4y^{2} = 16$ Equation $(1)$ $x^{2}+y^{2} =4$ Equation $(2)$ Subtract Equation $(2)$ from Equation $(1)$ $x^{2}+4y^{2} - (x^{2}+y^{2} )= 16-4$ $x^{2}+4y^{2} - x^{2}-y^{2} =12$ $3y^{2}= 12$ $y^{2}= 4$ $y=±2$ $y = 2$ or $y=-2$ Substitute $y$ values in Equation $(2)$ to get corresponding $x$ values. Let $y = 2$ $x^{2}+y^{2} =4$ $x^{2}+2^{2} =4$ $x^{2}+4=4$ $x^{2}=0$ $x=0$ Let $y = -2$ $x^{2}+y^{2} =4$ $x^{2}+(-2)^{2} =4$ $x^{2}+4=4$ $x^{2}=0$ $x=0$ $(0,2),(0,-2)$ satisfy given equations. Solution set: $\{(0,2),(0,-2)\}$
