Problem
A bug travels in the coordinate plane, moving only along the lines that are parallel to the -axis or
-axis. Let
and
. Consider all possible paths of the bug from
to
of length at most
. How many points with integer coordinates lie on at least one of these paths?
Solution
Answer: (C)
If a point satisfy the property that
, then it is in the desire range because
is the shortest path from
to
, and
is the shortest path from
to
If , then
satisfy the property. there are
lattices points here.
else let (and for
it is symmetrical,
,
So for , there are
lattices points,
for , there are
lattices points,
etc
for , there are
lattices points.
Hence, there are a total of lattice points.
