The circle intersection the parabol  if and only if the system of equations   { ((y=x^2 +k)),((x^2 +y^2 =4)) :} has the solution.  Hence we need must to have :  x^2 +(x^2 +k)^2 =4⇔x^4 +(2k+1)x^2 +k^2 −4=0(1)  has the solution   Set x^2 =t.(1)⇔t^2 +(2k+1)t+k^2 −4=0(2)  The eqn.(1) has the solution if and only  if the eqn.(2) has non−negative root  which means equivalent to  a)The case both roots are non−negative   { ((Δ=(2k+1)^2 −4(k^2 −4)≥0)),((x_1 +x_2 =−(2k+1)≥0)),((x_1 x_2 =k^2 −4≥0)) :}    ⇔ { ((4k+17≥0)),((k≤−(1/2))),((∣k∣≥2)) :}⇔ { ((k≥−((17)/4))),((k≤−(1/2))),((k∈(−∞;2]∪[2;+∞))) :}  ⇔−((17)/4)≤k≤−(1/2)   b)The case has only one root non−negative:   { ((Δ=(2k+1)^2 −4(k^2 −4)≥0)),((x_1 x_2 =k^2 −4≤0)) :}   ⇔ { ((4k+17≥0)),((∣k∣≤2)) :} ⇔ { ((k≥((−17)/4))),((−2≤k≤2)) :}⇔−2≤k≤2  Thus,The circle intersection the  parabol  if and only if k∈[−((17)/4);−(1/2)]∪[−2;2]
