Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
C1) (x-1)²+(y+2)²=1 C1 (1,-2) R1 = √1 = 1
C2) (x+5)²+(y-4)²=4 C2 (-5,4) R2 = √4 = 2
DISTANCE FORMULA: d² = (y₂-y₁)²+(x₁-x₂)²
calculating the distances between the 2 center:
d² = (4-(-2))²+(-5-1)² = (6)²+(-6)² = 36 + 36 = 72 ⇒ d = √72
√72 ≈ 8.49
R1 = 1 and R2 = 2
If the circles were secants, d would be < than R1 + R2.
If the circles were tangent, d would be = to R1 + R2
As d > than R1 + R2, we know that the circles do not intercept.
