Two circles have the following equations: #(x -1 )^2+(y -2 )^2= 9 # and #(x +4 )^2+(y +2 )^2= 25 #. Does one circle contain the other? If not, what is the greatest possible distance between a point on one circle and another point on the other?
circles overlap, 13.385
What we have to do here is calculate the distance between the centres of the circles and compare this with the sum of the radii.
Comparing the given equations with the standard form
sum of radii = 3 + 5 = 8
Since sum of radii > d , then circles overlap meaning one circle does not contain the other.
and greatest possible distance = d + sum of radii = 5.385 + 8 = 13.385 graph{(y^2-4y+x^2-2x-4)(y^2+4y+x^2+8x-5)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

The circles do not contain each other. The greatest possible distance between a point on one circle and another point on the other is the sum of the radii, which is ( \sqrt{9} + \sqrt{25} = 3 + 5 = 8 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
