There will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
<h3>What is a circle?</h3>It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle)
We have a circle and a parabola:
As we know the standard form of a circle:
The standard form of the parabola:
If we plug the value of y from the parabola equation in the circle equation, we get a quartic equation(4th order equation)
The solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
Thus, there will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
