aligned & S x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y-4=0 and & S^ x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y-16=0 are two circles aligned the point (-2,-1) lies
Options
- Ainside S^ only
- Binside S only
- Cinside S and S^
- Doutside S and S^
Correct answer
A. inside S^ only
Step-by-step solution
gathered S(-2,-1)=(-2)^2+(-1)^2-2(-2)-4(-1)-4 =4+1+4+4-4=9>0 gathered (-2,-1) lies outside of S aligned S(-2,-1) & =(-2)^2+(-1)^2-4(-2)-2(-1)-16 & =4+1+8+2-16=-1 < 0 aligned (-2,-1) lies inside of S^ Thus, (-2,-1) lies inside S^ only.
