The Cayley-Bacharach theorem says that every cubic curve on an algebraically closed field that passes through a given 8 points must contain a fixed ninth point, counting multiplicities. Ren et al. introduced a concrete formula for the ninth point in terms of the 8 points [4]. We would like to consider a different approach to find the ninth point via the theory of truncated moment problems. Various connections between algebraic geometry and truncated moment problems have been discussed recently; thus, the main result of this note aims to observe an interplay between linear algebra, operator theory, and real algebraic geometry.

In this paper, we consider the quartic moment problem suggested by Curto-Fialkow[6]. Given complex numbers $\gamma{\equiv}{\gamma}^{(4)}\;:\;{\gamma00},\;{\gamma01},\;{\gamma10},\;{\gamma01},\;{\gamma11},\;{\gamma20},\;{\gamma03},\;{\gamma12},\;{\gamma21},\;{\gamma30},\;{\gamma04},\;{\gamma13},\;{\gamma22},\;{\gamma31},\;{\gamma40}$, with ${\gamma00},\;>0\;and\;{\gamma}_{ji}={\gamma}_{ij}$ we discuss the conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure ${\mu}$, supported in the complex plane C such that ${\gamma}_{ij}=\int\;\={z}^i\;z^j\;d{\mu}(0{\leq}i+j{\leq}4)$. We obtain sufficient conditions for flat extension of the quartic moment matrix M(2). Moreover, we examine the existence of flat extensions for nonsingular positive quartic moment matrices M(2).
