I need help with circle intersects >.< please help. i'll post the picture in a bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know how to get centre and raddius of circle from it's basic equation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,, but i need help identifying if they intercept. >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tell me centres and radii of the circles given in first part of (a) in ur book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c:(3,-1) r=1 c:(2,2) r=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now calculate the distance between the centres :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by using the distance of two points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh!! and how about part b :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got the part A ? Now, 1) If sum of the radii is more than the distance between the centres, then they intersect and two distinct points. 2) If sum of the radii is equal to the distance between the centres, then they touch each other at exactly one point. 3) If sum of the radii is less than the distance between the centres, then they DO NOT intersect at any point ! Cheers ! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get it now !!!! thank you!!! \(^-^) just to be correct the distance formula is square root of (x2-x2)^2-(y2-y1)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah yeah :D Enjoy !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

howabout a)ii) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to follow the same method. Calculate distance between centre and compare it with sum of their radii

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for the center it would be (1,2) r=2 ??? the x^2 confuses me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.. Centre would be (0,2) x^2 = (x-0)^2 .. right ? so x-coordinate should be zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i see!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

problem 23 and 25?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, but I don't understand the question. If you can, please explain :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get problem 23 and 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I am saying, what we have to do in 23 and 25 ?? and what are the coordinates given after each question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn have a look please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and i'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry cant help :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can youelp with this? and it's fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you help *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check the points on graph where it intersects x-axis. Those values of x would be the solution of equation y=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i write the equation on the calc. and look for the intersections of the x-axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph is already given ! look at it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

answers are right there in the graph part 1: the points along the x-axis where curve crosses are the zeros part 2: the intervals where curve goes below x-axis is where y<0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
