The equations of two circles S_1 and S_2 are given by
S_1 : x^2 + y^2 +2x +2y + 1 = 0
S_2 : x^2 + y^2 −4x + 2y +1 = 0.
Show that S_1 and S_2 touch each other externally and obtain
the equation of the common tangent T at the point of contact.
Consider the system in N^3
(S): { ((p^2 +q^2 =r^2 )),((q+p+r=24)),((r<p+q)) :}
Show that the triplet (p:q:r) is solution to (S) if
and only if r<12. p and q are solutions to the equation;
n^2 −(24−r)n+24(12−r)=0 where n is an unknown.p
