Answer

The solution is $\left\{ \left( 0,0 \right),\left( -2,2 \right),\left( 2,2 \right) \right\}$

Work Step by Step

The equations are, $\begin{align} & {{x}^{2}}+{{\left( y-2 \right)}^{2}}=4\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left( \text{I} \right) \\ & {{x}^{2}}-2y=0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left( \text{II} \right) \\ \end{align}$ From equation (II): ${{x}^{2}}=2y $ (III) Substitute ${{x}^{2}}=2y $ in equation (I): $\begin{align} & 2y+{{\left( y-2 \right)}^{2}}=4 \\ & 2y+{{y}^{2}}-4y+4=4 \\ & {{y}^{2}}-2y=0 \\ & y\left( y-2 \right)=0 \\ & y=0,2 \end{align}$ Substitute $ y=0$ in equation (III): $\begin{align} & {{x}^{2}}=2\left( 0 \right) \\ & {{x}^{2}}=0 \\ & x=0 \end{align}$ Substitute $ y=2$ in equation (III): $\begin{align} & {{x}^{2}}=2\left( 2 \right) \\ & {{x}^{2}}=4 \\ & x=\pm 2 \end{align}$ Thus, the solution is $\left\{ \left( 0,0 \right),\left( -2,2 \right),\left( 2,2 \right) \right\}$.
