we are given
![(x-2)^2-3=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28x-2%29%5E2-3%3D1%20)
we can seperate them
First function is
![y=(x-2)^2-3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20y%3D%28x-2%29%5E2-3%20)
second function is
![y=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20y%3D1%20)
now, we can draw graph
and find intersection points
so, we can see that
intersection points are
(0,1) and (4,1)
so, solutions are
...........Answer
