1 y y 2 / 4 , or (1 y / 2)2 0 .
It follows that all the equalities hold; that is, y 2 and sin x cos x , and so there is a unique solution:
(x , y ) , 2 .

157. Let c denote the disk ( x , y ) with x 2 y 2 100. Because sin( x y ) 0 if and only if x y k for
integers k, disk c has been cut by parallel lines x y k , and in between those lines there are regions
containing points ( x , y ) with either sin( x y ) 0 or sin( x y ) 0 . Since sin( x y ) sin( x y ) , the
regions containing points ( x , y ) with sin( x y ) 0 are symmetric with respect to the origin to the
regions containing points ( x , y ) with sin( x y ) 0 . Thus, as indicated in figure, the area of region is
half the area of disc c, that is, 50
158. Without loss of generality, we assume that b 0 . (Otherwise, we can reflect the hexagon across the y-
axis.) Let the x coordinates of C, D, E and F be c, d, e and f, respectively. Note that the y coordinate of C
is not 4, since if it were, the fact | AB || BC | would imply that A, B and C are collinear or that c 0 ,
implying that A B C D E F is concave. Therefore, F ( f , 4) . Since AF CD , C = (c, 6) and D = (d, 10) and
so E (e, 8) . Because the y coordinates of B, C and D are 2, 6 and 10, respectively and | BC ||CD | , we
conclude that b d . Since AB ED , e 0 . Let a denote the side length of the hexagon. Then f 0 . We
need to compute [ A B C D E F ] [ A B D E ] [ A E F ] [B C D ] [ A B D E ] 2[ A E F ]
