Given circles are
x2+y214x+6y+33=0,x2+y2+30x2y+1=0CentreC1=(g,f) Centre C2=(g,f)=(7,3)=(15,1) Radius r2=g2+f2c=49+933=25=5 Radius r2=g2+f2c=225+11=15
Distance between the centres
C1C2=484+16=500r1+r2=5+15=20=400500>400C1C2>r1+r2
Question Image

The circles disjoint
 2 Direct common tangents and
2 transverse common tangents exist
 No. of common tangents n = 4
Internal center of similituds (ICS) divides C1C2 in the ratio r1 : r2 internally
=5:15=1:3ICS=1C2+3C11+3=1(15,1)+3(7,3)4=(15,1)+(21,9)4=15+214,194=64,84=32,2
