Intersection of Quadratic Functions: Points where two quadratic functions have the same y-value
Method: Set the two functions equal → form a quadratic equation → solve for x → substitute x into either function to get y
Example 1: y = x² - 5x + 6 and y = x - 2
Example 2: y = x² - 4x + 3 and y = -x² + 6x - 5
Tips: 2 solutions → 2 intersection points, 1 solution → graphs touch at 1 point, 0 solutions → no intersection
