First find the equation of the circle by completing the square in x and y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-2x%2By%5E2-2y=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2-2x%2B1%29%2B%28y%5E2-2y%2B1%29=-1%2B1%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-1%29%5E2%2B%28y-1%29%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "The circle is centered at (1,1) and has a radius of 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The point of intersection of the large circle and the small circle is shown in the diagram.
\n" ); document.write( "The coordinates of the position are given by,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=y=1-1%28sqrt%282%29%2F2%29%29=1-sqrt%282%29%2F2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "or approximately (0.2929,0.2929).
\n" ); document.write( "That distance is equal to,
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%2B%28sqrt%282%29%2F2%29r=1-sqrt%282%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=%281-sqrt%282%29%2F2%29%2F%281%2Bsqrt%282%29%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=0.1715\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the smaller circle is centered at (0.1715,0.1715) and has a radius of 0.1715.
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation would be,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-0.1715%29%5E2%2B%28y-0.1715%29%5E2=0.1715%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28%28x-0.1715%29%5E2%2B%28y-0.1715%29%5E2=0.0294%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
