  1. A \(2 < r < 8\)
  2. B \(r < 2\)
  3. C \(r=2\)
  4. D \(r>2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 < r < 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The first circle is \((x-1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = r^2\), which has center \(C_1 = (1, 3)\) and radius \(r_1 = r\). The second circle is \(x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 2y + 8 = 0\). Completing the square: \((x^2 - 8x + 16) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = -8 + 16 + 1\), which simplifies to…
