Question

Find the distance between the centers of the circles (x-1)²+(y+2)²=16 and (x+2)²+(y+1)²=14.

Answer 1

Answer:
`D=√(10)`

Explanation:

Given

circle

`\left ( x-1\right )^2+\left ( y+2\right )^2=16`

center of circle is (1,-2)

second circle

`\left ( x+2\right )^2+\left ( y+1\right )^2=14`

center of circle is (-2,-1)

Distance between two points

`D=√(\left ( y_2-y_1\right )^2+\left ( x_2-x_1\right )^2)`

`D=√(\left ( -2+1\right )^2+\left ( 1+2\right )^2)`

`D=√(10)`
