Consider, for example, a circle of radius 1 at the origin and a line extending through the origin and the point x=1, y=1. Here, we expect intersections at <math>x=\pm \sqrt{2},\;y=\pm\sqrt{2}</math>. |

Ignoring the negative x and y results for simplicity, and working through the wolfram approach: |
