Problem
Find the number of pairs of positive integers with
such that there exists a real number
satisfying
Solution 1
It is trivial that the maximum value of is
, is achieved at
for some integer
.
This implies that , and that
and
, for integers
.
Taking their ratio, we have
It remains to find all
that satisfy this equation.
If , then
. This corresponds to choosing two elements from the set
. There are
ways to do so.
If , by multiplying
and
by the same constant
, we have that
. Then either
, or
. But the first case was already counted, so we don't need to consider that case. The other case corresponds to choosing two numbers from the set
. There are
ways here. (This argument seems to have a logical flaw)
Finally, if , note that
must be an integer. This means that
belong to the set
, or
. Taking casework on
, we get the sets
. Some sets have been omitted; this is because they were counted in the other cases already. This sums to
.
In total, there are pairs of

Solution 2
In order for ,
.
This happens when
mod
This means that and
for any integers
and
.
As in Solution 1, take the ratio of the two equations:
Now notice that the numerator and denominator of are both odd, which means that
and
have the same power of two (the powers of 2 cancel out).
Let the common power be : then
, and
where
and
are integers between 1 and 30.
We can now rewrite the equation:
Now it is easy to tell that mod
and
mod
. However, there is another case: that
mod
and
mod
. This is because multiplying both
and
by
will not change the fraction, but each congruence will be changed to
mod
mod
.
From the first set of congruences, we find that and
can be two of
.
From the second set of congruences, we find that and
can be two of
.
Now all we have to do is multiply by to get back to
and
.
Let’s organize the solutions in order of increasing values of
, keeping in mind that
and
are bounded between 1 and 30.
For we get
.
For we get
For we get
Note that since
will cancel out a factor of 4 from
, and
must contain a factor of 4. Again,
will never contribute a factor of 2. Simply inspecting, we see two feasible values for
and
such that
.
If we increase the value of more, there will be less than two integers in our sets, so we are done there.
There are 8 numbers in the first set, 7 in the second, 4 in the third, 4 in the fourth, 2 in the fifth, and 2 in the sixth.
In each of these sets we can choose 2 numbers to be and
and then assign them in increasing order. Thus there are:
possible pairs
that satisfy the conditions.

Solution 3
We know that the range of sine is between and
, inclusive.
Thus, the only way for the sum to be is for
.
Note that .
Assuming and
are both positive,
and
could be
. There are
ways, so
.
If both are negative, and
could be
. There are
ways, so
.
However, the pair could also be
and so on. The same goes for some other pairs.
In total there are of these extra pairs.
The answer is .
Solution 4
The equation implies that . Therefore, we can write
as
and
as
for integers
and
. Then,
. Cross multiplying, we get
. Let
so the equation becomes
. Let
and
, then the equation becomes
. Note that
and
can vary accordingly, and
. Next, we do casework on
:
If :
Once and
are determined,
is determined, so
.
and
. Therefore, there are
ways for this case such that
.
If :
and
. Therefore, there are
ways such that
.
If :
Note that since
in this case will have a factor of 2, which will cancel out a factor of 2 in
, and we need the left hand side to divide 4. Also,
so it is odd and will therefore never contribute a factor of 2.
and
. Following the condition
, we conclude that there are
ways for this case.
If :
Adding all the cases up, we obtain
