The co-axial system of circles given by x²+y²+2 g x+c=0 for c < 0 represents
Options
- Acircles
- Bnon-intersecting circles
- Ctouching circles
- Dtouching or non-intersecting circles
Correct answer
A. circles
Step-by-step solution
The equation x²+y²+2 g x+c=0 represents co-axial system of circle having centre ul (-g, 0) and radius = g²-c . As c < 0 , radius is always greater than 0 . So , it has imaginary limiting points which show that circles are intersecting.
