Question -30

Geometry Level 3

Given x , y [ 0 , 3 π ] x,y \in [0,3 \pi] and cos x × sin y = 1 \cos x \times \sin y =1 .

Then the number of possible values of the ordered pairs ( x , y ) (x,y) is?

We must have either cos ( x ) = sin ( y ) = 1 \cos(x) = \sin(y) = 1 or cos ( x ) = sin ( y ) = 1. \cos(x) = \sin(y) = -1.

In the first case there are two values of x x on the given interval for which cos ( x ) = 1 \cos(x) = 1 , namely 0 0 and 2 π 2\pi , and two values of y y for which sin ( y ) = 1 \sin(y) = 1 , namely π 2 \frac{\pi}{2} and 5 π 2 . \frac{5\pi}{2}. This gives us 2 2 = 4 2*2 = 4 ordered pairs.

In the second case there are two values of x x on the given interval for which cos ( x ) = 1 \cos(x) = -1 , namely π \pi and 3 π 3\pi , and just one value of y y for which sin ( y ) = 1 \sin(y) = -1 , namely 3 π 2 . \frac{3\pi}{2}. This gives us 2 1 = 2 2*1 = 2 ordered pairs.

Thus the total number of ordered solution pairs is 4 + 2 = 6 . 4 + 2 = \boxed{6}.
