- [ 5 ] Let R be the region in the Cartesian plane of points ( x, y ) satisfying x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and x + y +
⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ ≤ 5. Determine the area of R .
Answer: We claim that a point in the first quadrant satisfies the desired property if the point 9
is below the line x + y = 3 and does not satisfy the desired property if it is above the line.2
To see this, for a point inside the region, x + y < 3 and ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ ≤ x + y < 3 However, ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ mustequal to an integer. Thus, ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ ≤ 2. Adding these two equations, x + y + ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ < 5, whichsatisfies the desired property. Conversely, for a point outside the region, ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ + { x } + { y } = x + y > 3
However, { x } + { y } < 2. Thus, ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ > 1, so ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ ≥ 2, implying that x + y + ⌊ x ⌋ + ⌊ y ⌋ > 5.

To finish, R is the region bounded by the x-axis, the y-axis, and the line x + y = 3 is a right trianglewhose legs have length 3. Consequently, R has area .9 2
