\end{figure} Figure 5 shows a sketch of the circle \(C _ { 1 }\)
The points \(A ( 1,4 )\) and \(B ( 7,8 )\) lie on \(C _ { 1 }\)
Given that \(A B\) is a diameter of the circle \(C _ { 1 }\)
  1. find the coordinates for the centre of \(C _ { 1 }\)
  2. find the exact radius of \(C _ { 1 }\) simplifying your answer. Two distinct circles \(C _ { 2 }\) and \(C _ { 3 }\) each have centre \(( 0,0 )\).
    Given that each of these circles touch circle \(C _ { 1 }\)
  3. find the equation of circle \(C _ { 2 }\) and the equation of circle \(C _ { 3 }\)
