Question 28302: I have an equation for a circle (x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=25 where the centre point is 3,1 and th radius is 5. I need to show that the line of equation y=-x-1 intercepts the circle. I have substituted the value of y into the circle
(x+3)^2+(-x-1-1)^2=25
(x+3)^2+(-x-2)^2=25
But how do i get from here to 2x^2+10x-12=0 an then show that the line intercepts?

Question 31160: A 6-foot-diameter disk and an 18-foot-diameter disk sit side by side. Determine the shortest length of rope that will go around both disks.

my answer below is different from a friends with a program to figure it out. i am concerned that i am not doing it right.
For circles that are externally tangent the line of centers=the length of the sum of both radii= common external tangents
Line of centers 3+9=12
Common external tangents=12*2=24
60 degrees because we will create a equilateral triangle



Arc 1
Degrees (pi/180) r
60(3.14/180) 3
3.14
Arc 2
60(3.14/180) 9
9.42
Common external tangents+Arc 1+Arc2
24+3.14+9.42
36.56
