  1. The circle \(C _ { 1 }\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 14 y + 33 = 0$$
  1. Find
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C _ { 1 }\)
    2. the radius of \(C _ { 1 }\) A different circle \(C _ { 2 }\)
      • has centre with coordinates (-6, -8)
  2. has radius \(k\), where \(k\) is a constant
  3. Given that \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\) intersect at 2 distinct points,
  4. find the range of values of \(k\), writing your answer in set notation.
