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 lattice points here.
else let (and for it is symmetrical, ,
So for , there are lattice points,
for , there are lattice points,
etc.
For , there are lattice points.
Hence, there are a total of lattice points.
