Problem
The area of the region bounded by the graph ofis , where and are integers. What is ?
Solution 1
In order to attack this problem, we need to consider casework:
Case 1:
Substituting and simplifying, we have , i.e. , which gives us a circle of radius centered at .
Case 2:
Substituting and simplifying again, we have , i.e. . This gives us a circle of radius centered at .
Case 3:
Doing the same process as before, we have , i.e. . This gives us a circle of radius centered at .
Case 4:
One last time: we have , i.e. . This gives us a circle of radius centered at .
After combining all the cases and drawing them on the Cartesian Plane, this is what the diagram looks like:
Now, the area of the shaded region is just a square with side length with four semicircles of radius . The area is . The answer is which is
