Let P ( ( x , y ) , ( x 0 , y 0 ) , z , ϵ , δ ) be the statment that ( cos ( x 0 cos − 1 ( z ) ) + cos ( y 0 cos − 1 ( z ) ) = 1 + z ) ∧ ( ∣ ∣ ( x , y ) − ( x 0 , y 0 ) ∣ ∣ < ϵ ) . Let S = { ( x , y ) ∈ R 2 : ( ∀ ϵ > 0 ) ( ∃ δ ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) ) ( ∀ z : 1 − δ < z < 1 ) ( ∃ ( x 0 , y 0 ) ∈ R 2 : ∣ x 0 ∣ , ∣ y 0 ∣ ≤ 1 ) ( P ( ( x , y ) , ( x 0 , y 0 ) , z , ϵ , δ ) ) } Then S is in fact a 1-manifold of finite length. What is the length of S ?

Hint: Look at the graphs of cos ( x cos − 1 ( z ) ) + cos ( y cos − 1 ( z ) ) = 1 + z for z near 1.
The upshot of the question is to see what happens to the shape of a graph (in this case: cos ( x ) + cos ( y ) − 1 = z ) near local extrema as z approaches the value of such extrema.
