Find the coordinates of the point at which the circles $${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,4x - \,2y = - 4\,\,and\,\,{x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,12x - \,8y = - 36$$ touch each other. Also find equations common tangests touching the circles in the distinct points.
Let a circle be given by 2x (x - a) + y (2y - b) = 0, $$(a\, \ne \,0,\,\,b\, \ne 0)$$. Find the condition on a abd b if two chords, each bisected by the x-axis, can be drawn to the circle from $$\left( {a,\,\,{b \over 2}} \right)$$.
Answer
$${a^2}\, > \,2\,{b^2}$$

Two circles, each of radius 5 units, touch each other at (1, 2). If the equation of their common tangent is 4x + 3y = 10, find the equation of the circles.
A circle touches the line y = x at a point P such that OP = $${4\sqrt 2 \,}$$, where O is the origin. The circle contains the point (- 10, 2) in its interior and the length of its chord on the line x + y = 0 is $${6\sqrt 2 \,}$$. Determine the equation of the circle.
Answer
$${x^2}\, + {y^2} + \,18x\, - 2y\, + 32\, = 0$$
