The number of real circles cutting orthogonally the circle x²+y²+2 x-2 y+7=0 is
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- DInfinitely many
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
Given, equation of circle is x²+y²+2 x-2 y+7=0 Here, radius of the circle aligned &= (1)+(-1)²-7 &= 1+1-7 = -5 &= imaginary aligned Given circle is an imaginary circle. Hence, number of real circles cutting orthogonally the given imaginary circle is zero.
