x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 4y - 20 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-2x+1 +y^2+4y+4 = 20+5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)^2 +(y+2)^2 = 25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "center of this circle is (1,-2) and radius is 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 6y = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x+4 +y^2-6y+9 = 13
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2 +(y-3)^2 = 13
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "center of this circle is (-2,3) and radius is square root(13) = 3.6056
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a) distance = square root( (-2-1)^2 + (3-(-2))^2 ) = 5.831
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b) radii are 5 and 3.6056
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "c) the given circles intersect at two points
