Let $S_1$ be the plane figure consisting of the points $(x, y)$ given by the inequalities $|x-1| \le 2$ and$|y + 2| \le 3$. Let $S_2$ be the plane figure given by the inequalities $x - y \ge -2$, $y \ge 1$, and $x \le 3$.Let $S$ be the union of $S_1$ and $S_2$. The area of $S$ is

The correct answer is
32

Plane Figure $S_1$ Definition

The inequalities $|x-1| \le 2$ define the range for the x-coordinate:

  • $-2 \le x-1 \le 2$
  • Adding 1 to all parts gives: $-1 \le x \le 3$.

The inequalities $|y+2| \le 3$ define the range for the y-coordinate:

  • $-3 \le y+2 \le 3$
  • Subtracting 2 from all parts gives: $-5 \le y \le 1$.

Therefore, $S_1$ represents a rectangle with vertices at $(-1, -5)$, $(3, -5)$, $(3, 1)$, and $(-1, 1)$. The width of this rectangle is $3 - (-1) = 4$ and the height is $1 - (-5) = 6$.

$S_1$ Area Calculation

The area of rectangle $S_1$ is calculated as:

$ Area(S_1) = \text{width} \times \text{height} = 4 \times 6 = 24 $

Plane Figure $S_2$ Definition

The figure $S_2$ is defined by the following inequalities:

  • $x - y \ge -2$, which is equivalent to $y \le x + 2$.
  • $y \ge 1$.
  • $x \le 3$.

These inequalities define a triangular region. The vertices are found by solving the systems of equations for the boundary lines:

  • Intersection of $y=1$ and $x=3$: This gives the vertex $(3, 1)$.
  • Intersection of $y=1$ and $y=x+2$: Substituting $y=1$ gives $1 = x+2$, so $x = -1$. This gives the vertex $(-1, 1)$.
  • Intersection of $x=3$ and $y=x+2$: Substituting $x=3$ gives $y = 3+2 = 5$. This gives the vertex $(3, 5)$.

$S_2$ is a triangle with vertices $(-1, 1)$, $(3, 1)$, and $(3, 5)$.

$S_2$ Area Calculation

The base of the triangle lies along the line $y=1$, extending from $x=-1$ to $x=3$. The length of the base is $3 - (-1) = 4$. The height of the triangle is the perpendicular distance from the base ($y=1$) to the third vertex $(3, 5)$, which is $5 - 1 = 4$.

The area of triangle $S_2$ is:

$ Area(S_2) = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 4 = 8 $

Union Area Calculation: $S = S_1 \cup S_2$

The set $S$ is the union of $S_1$ and $S_2$, denoted as $S = S_1 \cup S_2$. The area of the union is calculated using the principle of inclusion-exclusion:

$ Area(S) = Area(S_1) + Area(S_2) - Area(S_1 \cap S_2) $

We need to determine the area of the intersection $S_1 \cap S_2$.

Conditions for $S_1$: $-1 \le x \le 3$ and $-5 \le y \le 1$.

Conditions for $S_2$: $y \ge 1$, $x \le 3$, and $y \le x+2$.

For a point to be in the intersection $S_1 \cap S_2$, it must satisfy all conditions:

  • Comparing $y$ bounds: $S_1$ requires $y \le 1$ and $S_2$ requires $y \ge 1$. The only possibility is $y=1$.
  • Comparing $x$ bounds: $S_1$ requires $-1 \le x \le 3$ and $S_2$ requires $x \le 3$. Combined, this means $-1 \le x \le 3$.
  • Checking the final condition $y \le x+2$: With $y=1$, this becomes $1 \le x+2$, which simplifies to $x \ge -1$. This condition is already satisfied by $-1 \le x \le 3$.

The intersection $S_1 \cap S_2$ consists of points where $y=1$ and $-1 \le x \le 3$. This is a line segment, and its area is 0.

$ Area(S_1 \cap S_2) = 0 $

Final Area Calculation for $S$

Substitute the calculated areas into the union formula:

$ Area(S) = Area(S_1) + Area(S_2) - Area(S_1 \cap S_2) $

$ Area(S) = 24 + 8 - 0 $

$ Area(S) = 32 $

The total area of the union $S$ is 32.
