What is circle?
Circle is a locus of a point in 2 dimension from a fixed point
The general equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2
where r is the radius of the circle

How to find intersection of a circle and a parabola?
In some cases, a circle can cross a parabola.
1. A single point [when the circle just brushes up to the parabola]
2. There are two points. [When the parabola is split into two different points by a circle.
3. Three bullet points [The circle only touches at one point and splits the parabola into two points]
four (4) points [Either a parabola or a circle intersecting or crossing at four spots]
This is the conclusion to the answer.
