How many common tangents can be drawn to the following circles `x^(2)+y^(2)=6x` and `x^(2)+y^(2)+6x+2y+1=0`?A. 4B. 3C. 2D. 1

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The coordinates of the centres of the given circles are: `C_(1) (3, 0), C_(2)(-3, -1)` and corresponding radii are `r_(1)=3` respectively.
Now, `C_(1)C_(2)=sqrt(37) gt r_(1) + r_(2)`
So, 4 common tangents can be drawn to the given circles.
