10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
For the given circles ${x^2} + {y^2} - 6x - 2y + 1 = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 8y + 13 = 0$, which of the following is true
A
One circle lies inside the other
B
One circle lies completely outside the other
C
Two circle intersect in two points
D
They touch each other
Solution
(d) ${C_1} = (3,\;1),\;{C_2}( – 1,\;4),$
${R_1} = 3,\;{R_2} = 2$
${C_1}{C_2} = \sqrt {16 + 9} = 5,$
${R_1} + {R_2} = {C_1}{C_2}$
Hence circles touch externally.
