Dear student

Tge two curves intersect so circle with minimum area is 0

Let the radius of circle with least area be r,
Then, coordinates of centre = (0,  4 - r)
Since the circle touches the line y = x 
|0-(4-r)/sqrt2| = r 
so , r = 4/(sqrt2+1)
But r is not equal to 4/(1-sqrt2)
Because  4/(1-sqrt2) is less than 0 
r = 4(sqrt2-1)
