The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their validity using the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality (AM-GM Inequality). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We are given that \( a + b + c = 18 \) where \( a, b, c > 0 \). We need to find the maximum value of the product \( abc \). 2. **Applying the AM-GM Inequality**: According to the AM-GM Inequality, for any non-negative real numbers \( a, b, c \): \[ \frac{a + b + c}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{abc} \] This implies: \[ \frac{18}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{abc} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 6 \geq \sqrt[3]{abc} \] 3. **Cubing Both Sides**: To eliminate the cube root, we cube both sides of the inequality: \[ 6^3 \geq abc \] Calculating \( 6^3 \): \[ 6^3 = 216 \] Therefore, we have: \[ abc \leq 216 \] 4. **Finding When Equality Holds**: The equality in the AM-GM inequality holds when all the numbers are equal. Therefore, for \( a + b + c = 18 \) to achieve the maximum product \( abc \), we set: \[ a = b = c \] Let \( a = b = c = x \). Then: \[ 3x = 18 \implies x = 6 \] Thus, \( a = b = c = 6 \). 5. **Calculating the Maximum Product**: Now substituting back to find \( abc \): \[ abc = 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 216 \] 6. **Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is true: The maximum value of \( abc \) is indeed 216. - Statement 2 is also true: The maximum value occurs when \( a = b = c = 6 \). ### Final Answer: Both statements are true.
