The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Statements - **Statement 1** asserts that for \( n \) circles (where \( n \geq 3 \)), if no two circles are concentric and no three centers are collinear, the number of radical centers equals the number of radical axes, then \( n = 5 \). - **Statement 2** states that if no three centers are collinear and no two circles are concentric, then the number of radical centers is \( \binom{n}{3} \) and the number of radical axes is \( \binom{n}{2} \). ### Step 2: Analyzing Statement 2 - The number of radical centers formed by \( n \) circles is given by \( \binom{n}{3} \) because a radical center is formed by the intersection of the radical axes of any three circles. - The number of radical axes formed by \( n \) circles is given by \( \binom{n}{2} \) since a radical axis is determined by any two circles. ### Step 3: Setting Up the Equation From Statement 1, we have: \[ \text{Number of radical centers} = \text{Number of radical axes} \] This can be expressed as: \[ \binom{n}{3} = \binom{n}{2} \] ### Step 4: Expanding the Binomial Coefficients Using the formula for binomial coefficients: \[ \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \] We can write: \[ \binom{n}{3} = \frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!} \quad \text{and} \quad \binom{n}{2} = \frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!} \] ### Step 5: Setting Up the Equality Setting the two expressions equal gives: \[ \frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!} = \frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!} \] ### Step 6: Simplifying the Equation We can cancel \( n! \) from both sides (assuming \( n \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{3!(n-3)!} = \frac{1}{2!(n-2)!} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{6(n-3)!} = \frac{1}{2(n-2)(n-3)!} \] Multiplying both sides by \( 6(n-3)! \) gives: \[ 1 = \frac{6}{2(n-2)} \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 = \frac{3}{n-2} \] ### Step 7: Solving for \( n \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ n - 2 = 3 \implies n = 5 \] ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that Statement 1 is true and \( n = 5 \). ### Step 8: Verifying Statement 2 From our analysis, Statement 2 is also correct as it provides the correct expressions for the number of radical centers and radical axes. ### Final Answer Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true. ---
