In the Cartesian coordinate system, with the origin as the pole and the positive half-axis of the x-axis as the polar axis, a polar coordinate system is established. The polar equation of curve C is rho - 2costheta - 6sintheta + frac{1}{rho} = 0, and the parametric equation of line l is begin{cases} x=3+ frac{1}{2}t y=3+ frac{sqrt{3}}{2}t end{cases} (t is the parameter).(1) Find the standard equation of curve C;(2) If line l intersects curve C at points A and B, and the coordinates of point P are (3, 3), find the value of |PA|+|PB|.

💡Alright, so I have this problem here about a polar equation and a parametric line. It's divided into two parts. Let me try to figure out each step carefully.Starting with part (1): I need to find the standard equation of curve C. The given polar equation is ρ - 2cosθ - 6sinθ + 1/ρ = 0. Hmm, polar coordinates can sometimes be tricky, but I remember that converting them to Cartesian coordinates might help. The standard conversions are x = ρcosθ and y = ρsinθ, and ρ² = x² + y². So, looking at the equation: ρ - 2cosθ - 6sinθ + 1/ρ = 0. Maybe I can multiply both sides by ρ to eliminate the fraction. Let me try that:ρ*(ρ) - 2ρcosθ - 6ρsinθ + 1 = 0Which simplifies to:ρ² - 2ρcosθ - 6ρsinθ + 1 = 0Now, substituting the Cartesian equivalents:ρ² is x² + y², ρcosθ is x, and ρsinθ is y. So replacing those:x² + y² - 2x - 6y + 1 = 0So, that should be the standard equation of curve C. It looks like a circle equation because of the x² and y² terms. Maybe I can write it in the standard form by completing the squares.Let me rearrange the equation:x² - 2x + y² - 6y = -1Now, completing the square for x: take the coefficient of x, which is -2, divide by 2 to get -1, square it to get 1. Similarly for y: coefficient is -6, divide by 2 to get -3, square it to get 9.So, adding these squares to both sides:(x² - 2x + 1) + (y² - 6y + 9) = -1 + 1 + 9Which simplifies to:(x - 1)² + (y - 3)² = 9So, the standard equation is a circle with center at (1, 3) and radius 3. That makes sense.Moving on to part (2): Line l intersects curve C at points A and B, and point P is (3, 3). I need to find |PA| + |PB|. First, let me write down the parametric equations of line l:x = 3 + (1/2)ty = 3 + (√3/2)tSo, this is a parametric line with parameter t. The direction vector is (1/2, √3/2), which looks like a unit vector since (1/2)² + (√3/2)² = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1. So, this is a line starting at (3, 3) and moving in the direction of (1/2, √3/2). Since point P is (3, 3), which is the starting point of the parametric line, points A and B are the other intersections of the line with the circle. So, I need to find the points where this line intersects the circle C.To do this, I can substitute the parametric equations into the circle equation and solve for t. Let's do that.The circle equation is (x - 1)² + (y - 3)² = 9.Substituting x and y:( (3 + (1/2)t - 1) )² + ( (3 + (√3/2)t - 3) )² = 9Simplify each term:First term: (2 + (1/2)t)²Second term: ( (√3/2)t )²So, expanding both:First term: (2 + (1/2)t)² = 4 + 2*(1/2)t*2 + (1/2 t)² = 4 + 2t + (1/4)t²Wait, actually, that expansion is incorrect. Let me do it properly.(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².So, (2 + (1/2)t)² = 2² + 2*2*(1/2)t + (1/2 t)² = 4 + 2t + (1/4)t²Similarly, the second term: ( (√3/2)t )² = (3/4)t²So, putting it all together:4 + 2t + (1/4)t² + (3/4)t² = 9Combine like terms:(1/4 + 3/4)t² + 2t + 4 = 9Which simplifies to:(1)t² + 2t + 4 = 9Subtract 9 from both sides:t² + 2t - 5 = 0So, we have a quadratic equation in t: t² + 2t - 5 = 0.Let me solve for t using the quadratic formula:t = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / (2a)Here, a = 1, b = 2, c = -5.So,t = [-2 ± √(4 + 20)] / 2√(24) = 2√6, so:t = [-2 ± 2√6] / 2 = -1 ± √6So, the two values of t are t1 = -1 + √6 and t2 = -1 - √6.Now, these t-values correspond to points A and B on the line. Since the parametric equations are x = 3 + (1/2)t and y = 3 + (√3/2)t, plugging t1 and t2 will give us coordinates for A and B.But wait, the problem asks for |PA| + |PB|. Since point P is (3, 3), which is the starting point of the parametric line (when t = 0), the distance from P to A is |t1| times the magnitude of the direction vector, and similarly for |PB|.But since the direction vector is a unit vector, the distance |PA| is just |t1| and |PB| is |t2|.So, |PA| + |PB| = |t1| + |t2|Given that t1 = -1 + √6 and t2 = -1 - √6.Let me compute |t1| and |t2|.First, compute t1: -1 + √6 ≈ -1 + 2.45 ≈ 1.45, which is positive, so |t1| = t1.t2: -1 - √6 ≈ -1 - 2.45 ≈ -3.45, which is negative, so |t2| = -t2.Therefore, |PA| + |PB| = t1 + (-t2) = (-1 + √6) + (1 + √6) = 2√6.Wait, hold on: Let me double-check that.Wait, t1 is -1 + √6, which is approximately 1.45, so |t1| = t1.t2 is -1 - √6, which is approximately -3.45, so |t2| = |-1 - √6| = 1 + √6.Therefore, |PA| + |PB| = |t1| + |t2| = (-1 + √6) + (1 + √6) = 2√6.Yes, that seems right.Alternatively, another way to compute |PA| + |PB| is to use the fact that for a quadratic equation at² + bt + c = 0, the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product is c/a.In our case, t1 + t2 = -2 and t1*t2 = -5.But since |PA| + |PB| = |t1| + |t2|, which is not directly t1 + t2, but depends on the signs of t1 and t2.From the quadratic equation, t1 and t2 have opposite signs because their product is negative (t1*t2 = -5). So one is positive, and the other is negative.Therefore, |PA| + |PB| = |t1| + |t2| = |t1 - t2| because one is positive and the other is negative.Wait, no. If t1 is positive and t2 is negative, then |t1| + |t2| = t1 - t2.But t1 - t2 can be found using the quadratic formula.Alternatively, |t1 - t2| is equal to sqrt( (t1 + t2)^2 - 4t1t2 )Which is sqrt( (-2)^2 - 4*(-5) ) = sqrt(4 + 20) = sqrt(24) = 2√6.Therefore, |PA| + |PB| = 2√6.Yes, that's consistent with my earlier calculation.So, the value of |PA| + |PB| is 2√6.**Final Answer**(1) The standard equation of curve C is boxed{(x - 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 9}.(2) The value of (|PA| + |PB|) is boxed{2sqrt{6}}.

An ordered pair (n,p) is *juicy* if n^{2} equiv 1 pmod{p^{2}} and n equiv -1 pmod{p} for positive integer n and odd prime p . How many juicy pairs exist such that n,p leq 200 ?Proposed by Harry Chen (Extile)

💡Okay, so I have this problem about juicy pairs (n, p), where n is a positive integer and p is an odd prime. The conditions are that n² ≡ 1 mod p² and n ≡ -1 mod p. I need to find how many such pairs exist with both n and p less than or equal to 200. Hmm, let me try to unpack this step by step.First, let's understand the congruences. The second condition says that n is congruent to -1 modulo p. That means when I divide n by p, the remainder is p - 1. So, I can write n as kp - 1 for some integer k. That seems straightforward.Now, plugging this into the first condition: n² ≡ 1 mod p². So, substituting n = kp - 1, we get (kp - 1)² ≡ 1 mod p². Let's expand that: (kp)² - 2kp + 1 ≡ 1 mod p². Simplifying, that becomes k²p² - 2kp ≡ 0 mod p².Hmm, since p² divides k²p² - 2kp, we can factor out p: p(kp - 2k) ≡ 0 mod p². Dividing both sides by p (since p is prime and thus non-zero), we get kp - 2k ≡ 0 mod p. So, kp ≡ 2k mod p.Wait, that's interesting. So, kp ≡ 2k mod p. Let me rearrange that: kp - 2k ≡ 0 mod p, which is k(p - 2) ≡ 0 mod p. Since p is prime, and p doesn't divide k (unless k is a multiple of p), this implies that p divides (p - 2). But p divides p, so p divides 2. But p is an odd prime, so p can't be 2. That seems like a contradiction unless k is a multiple of p.Wait, maybe I made a mistake there. Let's go back. We have k(p - 2) ≡ 0 mod p. Since p is prime, and p doesn't divide (p - 2) because p - 2 is less than p and p is prime, so p and p - 2 are coprime. Therefore, for the product k(p - 2) to be divisible by p, k must be divisible by p. So, k = mp for some integer m.Ah, that makes sense. So, k is a multiple of p. Therefore, n = kp - 1 = mp² - 1. So, n is of the form mp² - 1. Now, since n must be a positive integer, m must be at least 1.Now, we have n = mp² - 1 ≤ 200. So, mp² ≤ 201. Therefore, m ≤ 201 / p². Since m must be an integer, the number of possible m's for each prime p is the floor of 201 / p².So, to find the total number of juicy pairs, I need to consider each odd prime p ≤ 200, compute the number of m's such that m ≤ 201 / p², and sum these counts over all such primes.Let me list the odd primes up to 200. The primes less than or equal to 200 are: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199.But wait, for each prime p, I need to check if p² ≤ 201, because otherwise, m would have to be zero, which isn't allowed since m is at least 1. So, p² ≤ 201 implies p ≤ sqrt(201) ≈ 14.17. So, primes p where p ≤ 14.17 are p = 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.Wait, let me check: 3²=9, 5²=25, 7²=49, 11²=121, 13²=169. 17²=289 which is greater than 201, so primes larger than 13 won't contribute any m's because m would have to be less than 1, which isn't possible. So, only primes up to 13 will have m ≥1.So, the primes to consider are 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.Now, let's compute for each of these primes:1. p=3: m ≤ 201 / 9 = 22.333... So, m can be 1 to 22, inclusive. So, 22 values.2. p=5: m ≤ 201 / 25 = 8.04... So, m can be 1 to 8, inclusive. 8 values.3. p=7: m ≤ 201 / 49 ≈ 4.102... So, m can be 1 to 4, inclusive. 4 values.4. p=11: m ≤ 201 / 121 ≈ 1.66... So, m can only be 1. 1 value.5. p=13: m ≤ 201 / 169 ≈ 1.189... So, m can only be 1. 1 value.Primes larger than 13 (like 17, 19, etc.) will have p² > 201, so m would have to be less than 1, which isn't allowed. So, they don't contribute any solutions.Now, adding up the number of m's for each prime:22 (for p=3) + 8 (p=5) + 4 (p=7) + 1 (p=11) + 1 (p=13) = 22 + 8 = 30; 30 +4=34; 34+1=35; 35+1=36.So, total juicy pairs are 36.Wait, let me double-check my calculations:- For p=3: 201/9=22.333, so m=1 to 22: 22- p=5: 201/25=8.04, m=1-8:8- p=7:201/49≈4.102, m=1-4:4- p=11:201/121≈1.66, m=1:1- p=13:201/169≈1.189, m=1:122+8=30, 30+4=34, 34+1=35, 35+1=36. Yep, that seems correct.So, the total number of juicy pairs (n,p) with n,p ≤200 is 36.

On the map, four villages are marked: ( A ), ( B ), ( C ), and ( D ), connected by paths (see the figure).The guide indicates that there are 10 potholes on routes ( A-B-C ) and ( B-C-D ), 22 potholes on the route ( A-B-D ), and 45 potholes on the route ( A-D )-( B ). The tourists want to travel from ( A ) to ( D ) in such a way that there are as few potholes as possible on their path. Which route should they take?

💡Okay, so I have this problem about four villages: A, B, C, and D. They're connected by some paths, and there are potholes on these paths. The tourists want to go from A to D, and they want to take the route with the least number of potholes. First, I need to figure out all the possible routes from A to D. Let me see... The villages are connected in some way, but I don't have the exact map. But based on the problem statement, it mentions routes like A-B-C, B-C-D, A-B-D, and A-D-B. So, I can assume that the villages are connected in a way that allows these routes.Let me list out the routes:1. A to D directly.2. A to B to D.3. A to B to C to D.I think these are the possible routes based on the given information. Now, the problem gives me the number of potholes on some of these routes:- A-B-C and B-C-D each have 10 potholes.- A-B-D has 22 potholes.- A-D-B has 45 potholes.Wait, A-D-B? That seems like a route from A to D to B, but the tourists want to go from A to D, not to B. Maybe it's a typo or something. Maybe it's supposed to be A-D? Or maybe it's a different route. Hmm, not sure. But let's see.First, let's focus on the routes that go from A to D. So, A to D directly, A to B to D, and A to B to C to D.For the route A-B-C, there are 10 potholes. Similarly, B-C-D also has 10 potholes. So, if I take the route A-B-C-D, the total potholes would be 10 (A-B-C) plus 10 (B-C-D), which is 20 potholes.For the route A-B-D, there are 22 potholes. So, if I take A-B-D, that's 22 potholes.For the route A-D, the problem mentions A-D-B has 45 potholes. Wait, that's confusing. If A-D-B has 45 potholes, does that mean A-D has 45 potholes? Or is it A-D-B, meaning from A to D to B? If it's A-D-B, then maybe A-D has some potholes, and D-B has some potholes. But since the tourists want to go from A to D, maybe we can ignore the D-B part.But I'm not sure. Maybe A-D-B is a different route, and the number of potholes on A-D-B is 45. So, if I take A-D-B, that's 45 potholes. But since we're going from A to D, maybe we can consider A-D as part of that route. So, maybe A-D has 45 potholes?Wait, that doesn't make sense because A-D-B would have more potholes than A-D alone. So, if A-D-B has 45 potholes, then A-D must have fewer than 45 potholes. But the problem doesn't specify the number of potholes on A-D directly. It only mentions A-D-B.Hmm, this is confusing. Maybe I should focus on the routes that are clearly defined. Let's see:- A-B-C has 10 potholes.- B-C-D has 10 potholes.- A-B-D has 22 potholes.- A-D-B has 45 potholes.So, if I take A-B-C-D, that's 10 + 10 = 20 potholes.If I take A-B-D, that's 22 potholes.If I take A-D-B, that's 45 potholes, but since we're going from A to D, maybe we can ignore the B part. So, maybe A-D has 45 potholes? That seems high compared to the other routes.Wait, but if A-D-B has 45 potholes, and A-B-D has 22 potholes, maybe there's a way to calculate the potholes on A-D directly.Let me think. If A-B-D has 22 potholes, and A-B-C has 10 potholes, then the potholes on B-D would be 22 - 10 = 12 potholes. Similarly, if A-D-B has 45 potholes, and A-B has 10 potholes, then the potholes on D-B would be 45 - 10 = 35 potholes. But that seems inconsistent because earlier we got 12 potholes on B-D.Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating this. Let's just compare the routes we have:- A-B-C-D: 20 potholes- A-B-D: 22 potholes- A-D: ?If A-D-B has 45 potholes, and A-B has 10 potholes, then A-D must have 45 - 10 = 35 potholes? That seems high. But I'm not sure if that's the right way to calculate it.Alternatively, maybe A-D-B is a separate route, and A-D is a different route. So, A-D could have its own number of potholes, but it's not given. The problem only mentions A-D-B having 45 potholes.So, maybe A-D has 45 potholes, and D-B has some additional potholes. But since we're only going from A to D, maybe we can consider A-D as 45 potholes.But then, comparing the routes:- A-B-C-D: 20 potholes- A-B-D: 22 potholes- A-D: 45 potholesSo, clearly, A-B-C-D is the best route with only 20 potholes.Wait, but I'm not sure if A-D is 45 potholes or if A-D-B is 45 potholes. Maybe A-D is less than 45. But since the problem doesn't specify, I think it's safe to assume that A-D has 45 potholes because that's what's given.Therefore, the optimal route is A-B-C-D with 20 potholes.

Let (x, y) be a solution to the system of equations:[begin{aligned}lfloor x rfloor + {y} &= 7.2, {x} + lfloor y rfloor &= 10.3.end{aligned}]Compute |x - y|.

💡Alright, so I have this system of equations involving floor functions and fractional parts. Let me write them down again to make sure I have them right:[begin{aligned}lfloor x rfloor + {y} &= 7.2, {x} + lfloor y rfloor &= 10.3.end{aligned}]Hmm, okay. I remember that for any real number, say x, it can be expressed as the sum of its integer part (which is the floor function, (lfloor x rfloor)) and its fractional part (({x})). So, (x = lfloor x rfloor + {x}), and similarly for y.Looking at the first equation: (lfloor x rfloor + {y} = 7.2). Since (lfloor x rfloor) is an integer and ({y}) is a fractional part between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive), the only way their sum can be 7.2 is if (lfloor x rfloor) is 7 and ({y}) is 0.2. That makes sense because 7 is an integer and 0.2 is a fractional part. So, I can write:[lfloor x rfloor = 7 quad text{and} quad {y} = 0.2]Great, that takes care of the first equation. Now, moving on to the second equation: ({x} + lfloor y rfloor = 10.3). Similarly, (lfloor y rfloor) is an integer and ({x}) is a fractional part between 0 and 1. So, the sum is 10.3, which is an integer part of 10 and a fractional part of 0.3. Therefore, (lfloor y rfloor) must be 10 and ({x}) must be 0.3. So, I can write:[lfloor y rfloor = 10 quad text{and} quad {x} = 0.3]Alright, now I can find x and y by combining their integer and fractional parts. For x:[x = lfloor x rfloor + {x} = 7 + 0.3 = 7.3]And for y:[y = lfloor y rfloor + {y} = 10 + 0.2 = 10.2]So, x is 7.3 and y is 10.2. Now, the problem asks for the absolute difference between x and y, which is |x - y|. Let me compute that:[|x - y| = |7.3 - 10.2| = | -2.9 | = 2.9]So, the absolute difference is 2.9. Let me just double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I separated the integer and fractional parts correctly, solved for each part, and then combined them to find x and y. The calculations seem straightforward, and the difference makes sense given the values of x and y. I think I'm confident with this answer.**Final Answer**The absolute difference (|x - y|) is boxed{2.9}.

Jacob is now some years younger than Michael. If 5 years from now Michael will be twice as old as Jacob, Jacob will be 11 years old in 4 years. How many years younger is Jacob than Michael?

💡First, I'll determine Jacob's current age. Since Jacob will be 11 years old in 4 years, I subtract 4 from 11 to find that Jacob is currently 7 years old.Next, I'll calculate Jacob's age in 5 years. Adding 5 years to his current age, Jacob will be 12 years old in 5 years.According to the problem, Michael will be twice as old as Jacob in 5 years. So, Michael's age in 5 years will be 2 times 12, which is 24 years.To find Michael's current age, I subtract 5 years from his age in 5 years: 24 - 5 = 19 years.Finally, to determine how many years younger Jacob is than Michael, I subtract Jacob's current age from Michael's current age: 19 - 7 = 12 years.

Find the area of the figure defined by the inequalitysqrt{arcsin y} leqslant sqrt{arccos x}

💡Alright, so I've got this inequality to solve: √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x). Hmm, okay. I need to find the area of the figure defined by this inequality. Let me try to break this down step by step.First off, I see square roots on both sides. Maybe I can simplify this by squaring both sides to get rid of the square roots. That should make things a bit easier. So, if I square both sides, I get:arcsin y ≤ arccos xAlright, that seems simpler. Now, I need to understand what this inequality means in terms of x and y. I know that arcsin y and arccos x are inverse trigonometric functions, so their domains and ranges are important here.For arcsin y, the domain is y ∈ [-1, 1], and the range is [-π/2, π/2]. But since we're dealing with square roots, the expression inside the square root must be non-negative. So, arcsin y must be greater than or equal to zero. That means y has to be in [0, 1] because arcsin y is non-negative only when y is between 0 and 1.Similarly, for arccos x, the domain is x ∈ [-1, 1], and the range is [0, π]. Again, since we're taking the square root, arccos x must be non-negative, which it always is because its range starts at 0. So, x can be in [-1, 1].But wait, from the inequality arcsin y ≤ arccos x, since arcsin y is non-negative, arccos x must also be non-negative, which it already is. So, the domain for x is still [-1, 1], but for y, it's [0, 1] because arcsin y has to be non-negative.Now, let's think about the inequality arcsin y ≤ arccos x. Maybe I can express y in terms of x or vice versa. Let me try to manipulate the inequality.If I take the sine of both sides, since arcsin y is an angle whose sine is y, and arccos x is an angle whose cosine is x. But wait, sine and cosine are related. Let me recall that sin(arccos x) = sqrt(1 - x²). Is that right? Let me verify.Yes, because if θ = arccos x, then cos θ = x, and sin θ = sqrt(1 - x²). So, sin(arccos x) = sqrt(1 - x²). Okay, so if I take the sine of both sides of the inequality arcsin y ≤ arccos x, I get:sin(arcsin y) ≤ sin(arccos x)Which simplifies to:y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²)So, now the inequality is y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²). Hmm, that looks familiar. That's the equation of the upper half of a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin. So, the region defined by y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²) is the area under the curve of the upper semicircle.But wait, I need to remember the domain of x and y. Earlier, I established that x is in [-1, 1] and y is in [0, 1]. So, combining these, the region we're looking at is the area under the curve y = sqrt(1 - x²) from x = -1 to x = 1, but y is only from 0 to 1.Wait, but actually, since y is in [0, 1], and x is in [-1, 1], the region is the intersection of y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²) with x ∈ [-1, 1] and y ∈ [0, 1]. So, that's basically the upper half of the unit circle in the first and second quadrants.But hold on, I need to make sure I'm not missing anything. Let me recap:1. Original inequality: √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x)2. Squared both sides: arcsin y ≤ arccos x3. Took sine of both sides: y ≤ sin(arccos x) = sqrt(1 - x²)4. So, the region is y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²) with x ∈ [-1, 1] and y ∈ [0, 1]Therefore, the area we're looking for is the area under the curve y = sqrt(1 - x²) from x = -1 to x = 1, but since y is only up to 1, which is the maximum value of sqrt(1 - x²), it's just the area of the upper half of the unit circle.But wait, the upper half of the unit circle has an area of (1/2)πr², and since r = 1, it's (1/2)π(1)² = π/2. But hold on, is that correct?Wait, no. Because the unit circle has radius 1, so the area is π(1)² = π. The upper half would be π/2. But in our case, are we considering the entire upper half or just a part of it?Wait, no, actually, in our case, x is from -1 to 1, and y is from 0 to 1. So, it's the entire upper half of the unit circle. So, the area should be π/2.But wait, earlier, I thought about the domain of y being [0, 1], but actually, when we squared the inequality, we might have introduced some restrictions. Let me double-check.Original inequality: √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x)We squared both sides: arcsin y ≤ arccos xBut, since both arcsin y and arccos x are non-negative, squaring is valid here.Now, taking sine of both sides: y ≤ sin(arccos x) = sqrt(1 - x²)So, yes, the region is y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²) with x ∈ [-1, 1] and y ∈ [0, 1]Therefore, the area is the integral from x = -1 to x = 1 of sqrt(1 - x²) dx, which is the area of the upper half of the unit circle, which is π/2.But wait, the answer I have in mind is 1 + π/4. Hmm, that's different. Maybe I missed something.Wait, let's think again. When we squared the inequality, we might have lost some information. Let me check.Original inequality: √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x)We squared both sides: arcsin y ≤ arccos xBut, arcsin y is defined for y ∈ [-1, 1], but since we have a square root, arcsin y must be ≥ 0, so y ∈ [0, 1]Similarly, arccos x is defined for x ∈ [-1, 1], and it's always ≥ 0.So, the domain is x ∈ [-1, 1], y ∈ [0, 1]But, when we take the sine of both sides, we get y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²)But, is that the only condition? Or is there more to it?Wait, let's consider that arcsin y ≤ arccos xLet me think about the relationship between arcsin y and arccos x.I know that arcsin y + arccos y = π/2 for y ∈ [-1, 1]But in our case, we have arcsin y ≤ arccos xSo, maybe I can express arccos x in terms of arcsin y.Wait, arccos x = π/2 - arcsin xSo, substituting that into the inequality:arcsin y ≤ π/2 - arcsin xSo, arcsin y + arcsin x ≤ π/2Hmm, that's interesting. So, the inequality becomes arcsin y + arcsin x ≤ π/2Now, I recall that arcsin a + arcsin b ≤ π/2 implies that a ≤ sqrt(1 - b²) when a and b are in [0, 1]Wait, let me think. If arcsin y + arcsin x ≤ π/2, then taking sine of both sides:sin(arcsin y + arcsin x) ≤ sin(π/2) = 1But sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin BSo, sin(arcsin y) cos(arcsin x) + cos(arcsin y) sin(arcsin x) ≤ 1Simplifying:y * sqrt(1 - x²) + sqrt(1 - y²) * x ≤ 1Hmm, that's a bit complicated. Maybe there's a better way.Alternatively, since arcsin y + arcsin x ≤ π/2, and both arcsin y and arcsin x are in [0, π/2] because y and x are in [0, 1], we can think about the region where this inequality holds.I think it's the region below the curve y = sin(π/2 - arcsin x) = cos(arcsin x) = sqrt(1 - x²)Wait, that's the same as before. So, y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²)So, the area is the integral from x = -1 to x = 1 of sqrt(1 - x²) dx, which is π/2.But earlier, I thought the answer was 1 + π/4. Maybe I was mistaken.Wait, let me think again. The original inequality is √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x)We squared both sides to get arcsin y ≤ arccos xBut, when we square both sides, we have to ensure that both sides are non-negative, which they are in this case.But, also, when we take the sine of both sides, we have to consider the domain.Wait, maybe I need to consider the cases where y is negative.Because, in the original inequality, y can be negative since arcsin y is defined for y ∈ [-1, 1], but the square root requires that arcsin y ≥ 0, so y must be in [0, 1]. So, actually, y cannot be negative because arcsin y would be negative, and the square root of a negative number is not real.Therefore, y must be in [0, 1], and x must be in [-1, 1]So, the region is x ∈ [-1, 1], y ∈ [0, 1], and y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²)Therefore, the area is the integral from x = -1 to x = 1 of sqrt(1 - x²) dx, which is the area of the upper half of the unit circle, which is π/2.But wait, the answer I have in mind is 1 + π/4. Maybe I'm missing something.Wait, let's consider the original inequality again: √(arcsin y) ≤ √(arccos x)We squared both sides: arcsin y ≤ arccos xBut, arcsin y is in [0, π/2] because y ∈ [0, 1]Similarly, arccos x is in [0, π] because x ∈ [-1, 1]But, when we have arcsin y ≤ arccos x, we can think about the relationship between y and x.Let me consider x in [0, 1] and y in [0, 1]Because, for x in [-1, 0), arccos x is in (π/2, π], and arcsin y is in [0, π/2], so arcsin y ≤ arccos x is always true for x in [-1, 0) and y in [0, 1]Therefore, for x in [-1, 0), the inequality holds for all y in [0, 1]So, the area for x in [-1, 0) is a rectangle with width 1 and height 1, so area = 1Then, for x in [0, 1], we have the inequality y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²)So, the area for x in [0, 1] is the integral from 0 to 1 of sqrt(1 - x²) dx, which is π/4Therefore, the total area is 1 + π/4Ah, that makes sense! I initially forgot to consider that for x in [-1, 0), the inequality holds for all y in [0, 1], giving an area of 1, and for x in [0, 1], the area is π/4So, the total area is 1 + π/4Let me verify this.For x in [-1, 0), arccos x is greater than π/2, and arcsin y is less than or equal to π/2, so the inequality arcsin y ≤ arccos x is always true. Therefore, for x in [-1, 0), y can be anything in [0, 1], so the area is 1 (since x ranges from -1 to 0, which is length 1, and y ranges from 0 to 1, which is height 1)For x in [0, 1], arccos x is in [0, π/2], so we have arcsin y ≤ arccos x, which translates to y ≤ sqrt(1 - x²). The area under this curve from x=0 to x=1 is a quarter of the unit circle, which has area π/4Therefore, the total area is 1 + π/4Yes, that seems correct.
