To obtain graph below by using rotation equations to find angle θ :
Using the equations of rotation for a rotation about the origin ( 0 , 0 ) :
x = x ′ cos ( θ ) − y ′ sin ( θ )
y = x ′ sin ( θ ) + y ′ cos ( θ )
Replacing x and y in x 2 + 2 x y + y 2 + 2 x − 2 y − 3 = 0 and finding θ we obtain:
x ′ 2 + y ′ 2 + ( x ′ 2 − y ′ 2 ) sin ( 2 θ ) + 2 cos ( 2 θ ) x ′ y ′ + 2 x ′ ( cos ( θ ) − sin ( θ ) ) − 2 y ′ ( sin ( θ ) + cos ( θ ) ) − 3 = 0
Setting x ′ y ′ term to zero we have cos ( 2 θ ) = 0 ⟹ 2 θ = 2 π ⟹ θ = 4 π .
⟹ 2 x ′ 2 − 2 2 y − 3 = 0 ⟹ y ′ = 2 1 ( x ′ 2 − 2 3 ) .
Since any circle is invariant under a rotation about its center we can write: x ′ 2 + y ′ 2 = 1
Solving the system x ′ 2 + y ′ 2 = 1 and y ′ = 2 1 ( x ′ 2 − 2 3 ) :
x ′ 2 = 2 y ′ + 2 3 ⟹ 2 y ′ 2 + 2 2 y ′ + 1 = 0 ⟹ y ′ = − 2 1 ⟹ x ′ = ± 2 1
Using the bottom portion y 2 ( x ) = − 1 − x ′ 2 of the circle and y 1 ( x ) = 2 1 ( x ′ 2 − 2 3 ) . the area A = 2 ∫ 0 2 1 y 2 ( x ) − y 1 ( x ) d x .
Letting x ′ = sin ( θ ) ⟹ d x ′ = cos ( θ ) d θ ⟹
A = 2 ( − 2 1 ∫ 0 4 π ( 1 + cos ( 2 θ ) ) d θ − 2 1 ( 3 x ′ 3 − 2 3 x ′ ) ∣ 0 2 1 )
= 2 ( − 2 1 ( θ + 2 1 sin ( 2 θ ) ) ∣ 0 4 π + 3 2 )
= 6 5 − 4 π = 2 ∗ 3 5 − 2 2 π = a ∗ b c − a a π ⟹ a + b + c = 1 0 .
