1. **State the problem:** Find the points of intersection of the two parabolas given by the equations:
$$y = x^2 - 2x + 2$$
$$y = x^2 - 8x + 20$$
2. **Set the equations equal to find intersection points:**
At points of intersection, the $y$ values are equal, so:
$$x^2 - 2x + 2 = x^2 - 8x + 20$$
3. **Simplify the equation:**
Subtract $x^2$ from both sides:
$$\cancel{x^2} - 2x + 2 = \cancel{x^2} - 8x + 20$$
which simplifies to:
$$-2x + 2 = -8x + 20$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
Add $8x$ to both sides:
$$-2x + 8x + 2 = 20$$
which is:
$$6x + 2 = 20$$
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$6x = 18$$
Divide both sides by 6:
$$x = \frac{18}{6}$$
$$x = 3$$
5. **Find corresponding $y$ value:**
Substitute $x=3$ into either original equation, for example:
$$y = 3^2 - 2(3) + 2 = 9 - 6 + 2 = 5$$
6. **Conclusion:**
The two parabolas intersect at the point:
$$(3, 5)$$
