E=x2+y2-6x-2y+1=0               E1=x2+y2+2x-8y+13=0 c1=(3,1)                                                  C2=(-1,4) r1=9+1-1= 3                                  r2=1+16-13     C1.C2¯= (-1-3)2+(4-1)2                  r2=2    C1.C2= 16+9 C1C2 =5


r1+r2=3+25 C1C2 = r1+r2 
Two circles are touch externally, then the point of contact is internal similitude then 
P(x,y) = mx2+nx1m+n, my2+ny1m+n =3(-1)+2(3)3+2'3(4)+2(1)3+2 =-3+65,12+25 =35,145
and equation of common target is 
s-s1=0 (x2+y2-6x-2y+1)-(x2+y2+2x-8y+13)+0 -8x+6y-12=0 4x-3y+6=0
