The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the circles touch internally, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the circles The equations of the circles are given as: 1. Circle 1: \( x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y - 20 = 0 \) 2. Circle 2: \( x^2 + y^2 + 14x - 6y + 22 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Convert the equations to standard form To convert the equations to standard form, we will complete the square for both circles. **For Circle 1:** \[ x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 4y - 20 = 0 \] Completing the square: - For \(x\): \(x^2 - 10x = (x - 5)^2 - 25\) - For \(y\): \(y^2 + 4y = (y + 2)^2 - 4\) Substituting back: \[ (x - 5)^2 - 25 + (y + 2)^2 - 4 - 20 = 0 \] \[ (x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 - 49 = 0 \] Thus, the standard form is: \[ (x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 49 \] This gives us: - Center \(C_1 = (5, -2)\) - Radius \(r_1 = \sqrt{49} = 7\) **For Circle 2:** \[ x^2 + 14x + y^2 - 6y + 22 = 0 \] Completing the square: - For \(x\): \(x^2 + 14x = (x + 7)^2 - 49\) - For \(y\): \(y^2 - 6y = (y - 3)^2 - 9\) Substituting back: \[ (x + 7)^2 - 49 + (y - 3)^2 - 9 + 22 = 0 \] \[ (x + 7)^2 + (y - 3)^2 - 36 = 0 \] Thus, the standard form is: \[ (x + 7)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 36 \] This gives us: - Center \(C_2 = (-7, 3)\) - Radius \(r_2 = \sqrt{36} = 6\) ### Step 3: Calculate the distance between the centers The distance \(d\) between the centers \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ d = \sqrt{((-7) - 5)^2 + (3 - (-2))^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{(-12)^2 + (5)^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \] ### Step 4: Check the condition for internal tangency For two circles to touch internally, the following condition must hold: \[ d = r_1 - r_2 \] Calculating \(r_1 - r_2\): \[ r_1 - r_2 = 7 - 6 = 1 \] ### Step 5: Compare the distance and the difference of the radii We found: - Distance between centers \(d = 13\) - Difference of radii \(r_1 - r_2 = 1\) Since \(d \neq r_1 - r_2\), the circles do not touch internally. ### Conclusion The circles do not touch internally. ---
