    The first two curves divide the plane into 3 regions.


    The equation of the third curve is
    6x = (y – 3)2 + 42.
    This is a parabola with vertex (7,3) and which is rightward opened. Observe that the first curve and
    the third curve touch each other at the point (3, 7) which is the rightmost point of the first curve.
    Hence, the third curve does not divide the region of the circle inside the third curve, while it divides
    two other regions into two parts. Totally, we have 5 regions.
