title: Python: finding the intersection point of two gaussian curves
body: <p>I have two gaussian plots:</p>
  
  <pre><code>x = np.linspace(-5,9,10000)
  plot1=plt.plot(x,mlab.normpdf(x,2.5,1))
  plot2=plt.plot(x,mlab.normpdf(x,5,1))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I want to find the point at where the two curves intersect. Is there a way of doing this? In particular I want to find the value of the x-coordinate where they meet.</p>
