    Yes, at positive x-coordinates.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Finding the equation for g (x):

    Slope = (3-6) / (1-0) = - 3

    y-intercept = y value when x = 0 = 6.

    So g (x) = - 3x + 6

    Solve them simultaneously:

    x^2 + y^2 = 16

    g (x) : y = - 3x + 6

    Substitute for y in the first equation:

    x^2 + (-3x + 6) ^2 = 16

    x^2 + (9x^2 - 36x + 36) = 16

    10x^2 - 36x + 20 = 0

    5x^2 - 18x + 10 = 0

    x = [ - (-18) + / - sqrt ((-18) ^2 - 4 * - 18 * 10) ] / (5*2)

    = (18 + / - sqrt 124) / 10

    = (1.8) + / - 1,114

    These 2 roots are both positive.
