In the context of phase diagrams as taught in "The Complete Physical Metallurgy & Phase Diagrams Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", which of the following statements best describes the significance of the eutectoid transformation in a binary alloy system?

Consider a binary isomorphous system as explored in the course. If an alloy of composition X is slowly cooled from the liquid state, and at a specific temperature T1, the first solid begins to form, what is the relationship between the composition of this initial solid and the overall alloy composition X at T1?

According to "The Complete Physical Metallurgy & Phase Diagrams Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", the Gibbs Phase Rule ($F = C - P + 1$) is a fundamental tool. For a single-component system at a triple point, what is the number of degrees of freedom?
