Complete the square:
x2+y2+8x−10y=(x+4)2−16+(y−5)2−25=(x+4)2+(y−5)2=292970.
Therefore, the centre of C1 is
(−4,5)
and the radius is
70.

两个圆若相交或相切,圆心距必须不大于两半径之和。这里比较圆心距和半径之和即可。

For C1,
centre=(−4,5),r1=70.
For C2,
centre=(5,−8),r2=52.
The distance between the centres is
d====(5−(−4))2+(−8−5)292+(−13)225015.81….
The sum of the radii is
r1+r2==70+5215.58….
Since
250>70+52,
the distance between the centres is greater than the sum of the radii.
Therefore, the circles neither touch nor intersect.

代数判别式法。若两圆相交或相切,联立两圆的方程应有实数解。两圆方程相减可以消去二次项,得到一条直线方程(根轴)。将此直线代入任意圆的方程,得到关于一个变量的一元二次方程。通过计算其判别式 Δ<0 证明方程无实数解,即可说明两圆既不相切也不相交。

The equations of the two circles are:
C1:C2:x2+y2+8x−10y−29=0(x−5)2+(y+8)2=52⟹x2+y2−10x+16y+37=0
Subtract C2 from C1 to eliminate the x2 and y2 terms:
(8x−10y−29)−(−10x+16y+37)=18x−26y−66=9x−13y−33=000⟹x=913y+33
Substitute x=913y+33 into the equation of C1:
(913y+33)2+y2+8(913y+33)−10y−29=0
Multiply the entire equation by 81 to clear the denominator:
(13y+33)2+81y2+72(13y+33)−810y−2349=0
Expand and simplify:
(169y2+858y+1089)+81y2+(936y+2376)−810y−2349=250y2+984y+1116=125y2+492y+558=000
Calculate the discriminant Δ of this quadratic equation:
Δ====b2−4ac4922−4(125)(558)242064−279000−36936
Since the discriminant Δ<0, the quadratic equation has no real solutions.
This means there are no real points of intersection between the two circles.
Therefore, the circles neither touch nor intersect.
