Let the set of all values of r, for which the circles (x+1)2+(y+4)2=r2 and x2+y2-4x-2y-4=0 intersect at two distinct points be the interval (α,β). Then αβ is equal to [2026]
(4)
(x-2)2+(y-1)2=32 & (x+1)2+(y+4)2=r2
|r1-r2|<c1c2<r1+r2
|r-3|<(2+1)2+(1+4)2<r+3
|r-3|<34 & r+3>34
-34<r-3<34 & r>34-3
i.e. r=(3-34, 3+34)∩(34-3,∞)
i.e. r∈(34-3,34+3)
∴ αβ=(34-3)(34+3)
