Circle Intersection
1. We are given two inequalities:
$$x^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ and $$ (x + 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4.$$
Our goal is to understand the region defined by these inequalities.
2. The inequality $$x^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ represents a circle centered at the origin $$(0,0)$$ with radius 2.
3. The inequality $$ (x + 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ represents a circle centered at $$(-2, 0)$$ with radius 2.
4. To find the region common to both inequalities, we look at the overlap of these two circles.
5. Both circles have radius 2, with centers 2 units apart horizontally.
6. The region $$x^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ includes all points within 2 units of the origin.
7. The region $$ (x + 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ includes all points within 2 units of $(-2,0)$.
8. The solution set consists of all points inside or on both circles, meaning the intersection of these two disks.
Final answer: The system $$x^2 + y^2 \leq 4, \quad (x + 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4$$ defines the overlapping region of two circles each of radius 2, centered at $(0,0)$ and $(-2,0)$ respectively.
