Wow! Symmetry!! Wow! Symmetry!!

As shown in figure, Grey area ( A G ) (A_{G}) is required one while Yellow one ( A Y ) (A_{Y}) is not to be added. As the graph is symmetrical about x + y = 0 x+y=0 , we can say that A G = A Y A_{G}=A_{Y} and A G + A Y = π 1 3 2 A_{G}+A_{Y}=\pi 13^{2} .

So A G = A Y = π 1 3 2 2 = 265.46 A_{G}=A_{Y}=\dfrac{\pi 13^{2}}{2}=265.46

Great Question!

You can formalize it by saying that if ( a , b ) (a, b) satisfies sin ( x + y ) < 0 \sin (x + y ) < 0 , then the point ( a , b ) (-a, -b) satisfies sin ( x + y ) > 0 \sin (x+y) > 0 .

x and y are in radians? ok... but both answers should be the same. Which means I still got it wrong.

Aloysius Ng - 6 years, 6 months ago

Yeah! It won't matter! sin ( x + y ) \sin (x+y) is just for saying that you have to half the area of circle which does not depend on units of x and y!

Your graph is quite cool. As it shows gray part as part of -ve part of sin(x+y) between 0 and -1. And +part left behind. As we can visualise sine graph we see that -ve part starts from 1pi to 2pi(if we start from zero obviously) as shown in gray part between 1pi to 2pi( const )lines. And so on... One ques all of u:- from which software we drawn the graph and what is code for pi symbol

With respect to the first equation, it runs on an intuitive though.

x 2 + y 2 169 { x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }\leq 169

For those who really worked on pre-calculus, it's a common equation that determines all the area inside of the circunference of a given radius R. Therefore, it's only necessary to find the intersection points between those two equations and, then, understand how it "cuts" the graph.

First, I think it's important to find an equivalent equation to the second one, since it's in a non-trivial format of a mental visualization of its plot.

sin ( x + y ) 0 \sin {(x+y)}\leq 0

Using a basic trig. equation, separe it in independent terms of x {x} and y {y} and do some algebraic-trigonometric work.

sin ( x ) cos ( y ) + sin ( y ) cos ( x ) 0 \sin { (x) } \cos { (y) } +\sin { (y) } \cos { (x) } \leq 0

sin ( x ) cos ( y ) sin ( y ) cos ( x ) \sin { (x) } \cos { (y) }\leq -\sin { (y) } \cos { (x) }

tan ( x ) tan ( y ) \tan { (x) } \leq -\tan { (y) }

d d x ( tan ( x ) ) d d x ( tan ( y ) ) \frac { d }{ dx } (\tan { (x) } )\leq -\frac { d }{ dx } (\tan { (y) } )

sec 2 ( x ) sec 2 ( x ) d d x y \sec ^{ 2 }{ (x) } \leq -\sec ^{ 2 }{ (x)\cdot \frac { d }{ dx } y }

1 d d x y 1\leq -\frac { d }{ dx } y

1 d d x y -1\geq \frac { d }{ dx } y

Then, apply the integral to both sides.

1 d x d d x ( y ) d x \int { -1 } dx\geq \int { \frac { d }{ dx } (y)\cdot dx }

And, we find this: x y -x \geq y

Now, things got easier. (: As we can see, it's one of the fundamental linear equations. It represents bisectrix of even quadrants, therefore, slicing the x-axis in 135 degrees. From the output, we observe that only solutions below the line are holded, (In this case, if it were "above the line", the answer would be the same.) If you see that the circunference is centered in the origin, the solution appears as simples as it is: it "cuts" the circle's area in half.

A r e a c i r c l e = π r 2 { Area }_{ circle }=\pi r^{ 2 }

The radius of the circle is the square root of 169, therefore: A r e a c i r c l e = 169 π { Area }_{ circle }=169\pi

A r e a s e m i c i r c l e = A r e a c i r c l e 2 { Area }_{ semicircle }=\frac { { Area }_{ circle } }{ 2 }

A r e a s e m i c i r c l e = A r e a b o u n d e d = 169 π 2 = 265.46 { Area }_{ semicircle }={ Area }_{ bounded }=\frac { 169\pi }{ 2 } =265.46

sin x cos y sin y cos x \sin x\cos y\leq -\sin y\cos x

tan x tan y \Rightarrow \tan x\leq -\tan y

How did you got the second one from the first one?

I think you divided first equation by cos x cos y \cos x\cos y , but how can you say that it is positive? If it is negative, inequality must be flipped!!

Pranjal Jain - 6 years, 5 months ago

Well, you can't actually tell whether it will be a positive or negative term only by looking at the expression, but as I though here, since you've asked me, even if you flip the inequality at this step, it will only gives the second outcome.

x y {-x}\leq {y}

x y {-x}\geq {y}

I just did all that process to show what linear function is the model to the pattern that describes the equation given to us. And, just as usual, you select the solution that applies to the question's restraints, therefore, the one that leds to f ( x ) 0 \sim f\left( x \right) \leq 0 form. Either way, if you directly differentiate s i n ( x + y ) 0 sin{(x+y)}\leq 0 with respect to x {x} , you can describe better that, in this specific case, the most suitable option is: x y {-x}\geq {y} .

Anyway, thanks for pointing that. (:

Go for an easy one! (x^2)+(y^2) <= 169 is ar circle of radius=13 with origin at center; its area is 169π and now sin(x+y)<=0... x+y=(sin^-1)(00 [ sin inverse 0 is 0] thus y=-x passing through center, slope=-1 which divides circle in 2 equal parts thus req. area is 84.5π!

Moderator note:

This solution makes a mistake of assuming that sin 1 ( sin ( x + y ) ) = x + y \sin^{-1}( \sin (x+y) ) = x + y . Do you know why this is not true?

sin 1 ( sin ( x + y ) ) x + y \sin^{-1} (\sin (x+y))\ne x+y

For example, sin 1 ( sin 3 π 4 ) = π 4 \sin^{-1} (\sin \frac{3\pi}{4})=\frac{\pi}{4}
