The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given statements regarding the circumcenter of a triangle formed by the lines \(x+y=0\), \(x-y=0\), and a variable line that is tangent to the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Triangle**: The lines \(x+y=0\) and \(x-y=0\) intersect at the origin (0,0), forming a right-angled triangle with the variable tangent line to the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\). 2. **Determine the Tangent Line**: The equation of the tangent line to the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\) can be expressed as: \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{1 + m^2} \] where \(m\) is the slope of the tangent line. 3. **Find the Points of Intersection**: - The line \(x+y=0\) can be rewritten as \(y = -x\). - The line \(x-y=0\) can be rewritten as \(y = x\). - Set \(y = mx + \sqrt{1 + m^2}\) and \(y = -x\) to find one point of intersection: \[ -x = mx + \sqrt{1 + m^2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ x(m + 1) = -\sqrt{1 + m^2} \] Thus, \[ x = -\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{m + 1} \] Substitute back to find \(y\): \[ y = -x = \frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{m + 1} \] - Similarly, set \(y = mx - \sqrt{1 + m^2}\) and \(y = x\) to find the second point of intersection: \[ x = mx - \sqrt{1 + m^2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ x(1 - m) = -\sqrt{1 + m^2} \] Thus, \[ x = -\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{1 - m} \] Substitute back to find \(y\): \[ y = x = -\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{1 - m} \] 4. **Calculate the Circumcenter**: The circumcenter of a right triangle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is formed by the two points of intersection we found. Let the points be \(A\left(-\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{m + 1}, \frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{m + 1}\right)\) and \(B\left(-\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{1 - m}, -\frac{\sqrt{1 + m^2}}{1 - m}\right)\). The circumcenter \(C\) is given by: \[ C = \left(\frac{x_A + x_B}{2}, \frac{y_A + y_B}{2}\right) \] 5. **Find the Locus of the Circumcenter**: Substitute the coordinates of \(C\) into the equation and simplify to find the locus. After simplification, we find that: \[ (x^2 - y^2)^2 = x^2 + y^2 \] ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1**: The locus of the circumcenter is \((x^2 - y^2)^2 = x^2 + y^2\) (True). - **Statement 2**: The circumcenter of a right triangle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse (True).
