The Attempt at a Solution


I know you have to set them equal to each other i just do not know what to do from there.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[tex]x-x^{3}=0[/tex]
[tex]x(1-x^{2})=0[/tex]
just factor and set each part =0
 
Alright and I am also having trouble with finding points of intersection of
y=6-x^2 and y=2 about the y axis
