I have this plot with the intersections of the functions f(x) & g(x) marked as P1, P2 and P3. How can I write its coordinates instead of the texts "P1", "P2" and "P3" calculated with tikz, without having to put them by hand?

This is the latex code

  • This is not what I asked. I need to write in red "(2.7, 6.4)" instead of "P3". I can write: node at (i-3) {(2.7, 6.4)}; because previously I calculated this intersection with my scientific calculator, but I need that this coordinates will be calculated by tikz, not by me. Dec 23, 2020 at 12:13
  • Probably tex.stackexchange.com/a/38572/38080 answers your question, or tex.stackexchange.com/a/425279/38080 for newer pgfplots.
