  1. The circle \(C _ { 1 }\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 10 y = 29$$
    1. Find the coordinates of the centre of \(C _ { 1 }\)
    2. Find the exact value of the radius of \(C _ { 1 }\) In part (b) you must show detailed reasoning.
      The circle \(C _ { 2 }\) has equation $$( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + ( y + 8 ) ^ { 2 } = 52$$
  1. Prove that the circles \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\) neither touch nor intersect.
