Dubya part 2

Algebra Level 4

When y 7 y \leqslant 7 is graphed, all areas below y 7 y \leqslant 7 and on/above the curve y = x + 2 x + 1 3 x + 2 + 4 x + 3 y = |x| + 2|x+1| - 3|x+2| +4 |x+3| are shaded. If the area of the shaded region is E \mathscr{E} , find 1000 E \left \lfloor 1000 \mathscr{E} \right \rfloor .

Notations :


The answer is 2750.

The simplest way to solve this problem is to graph y = 7 y=7 (blue) and y = x + 2 x + 1 3 x + 2 + 4 x + 3 y=|x|+2|x+1|-3|x+2|+4|x+3| (red). This is how it looks: The shaded areas are the ones we’re looking for. The first (bigger) one is a triangle with height 3 and base 1.5, and the other has base 1 and height 1. Their areas are 2.25 and 0.5, total 2.75. Therefore ε = 2.75 \varepsilon=2.75 . Multiplied by 1000 this becomes 2750 which is our solution. (The floor function won’t do anything to an integer so we can just skip it.)

This is correct, and the question wording is correct.
