  1. Identify the curve

The boundary x2/3+y2/3=1x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=1x2/3+y2/3=1 is the astroid.

A standard parametrization of this astroid is x=cos^3\theta,\qquad y=\sin^3\theta for 0≤θ≤2π0\le \theta\le 2\pi0≤θ≤2π.

Indeed, x2/3=cos⁡2θ,y2/3=sin⁡2θ,x^{2/3}=\cos^2\theta,\qquad y^{2/3}=\sin^2\theta,x2/3=cos2θ,y2/3=sin2θ, so x2/3+y2/3=cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1.x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1.x2/3+y2/3=cos2θ+sin2θ=1.


  1. Understand the required region

We need the area of {(x,y):x2/3+y2/3≤1, x+y≥0, y≥0}.\{(x,y):x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}\le 1,\ x+y\ge 0,\ y\ge 0\}.{(x,y):x2/3+y2/3≤1, x+y≥0, y≥0}.

  • y≥0y\ge 0y≥0 means the upper half of the astroid.
  • In the upper half, the line x+y=0x+y=0x+y=0 i.e. y=−xy=-xy=−x cuts the astroid at points where x=−y.x=-y.x=−y. Substitute into the boundary: x2/3+(−x)2/3=2∣x∣2/3=1x^{2/3}+(-x)^{2/3}=2|x|^{2/3}=1x2/3+(−x)2/3=2∣x∣2/3=1 so
\implies |x|=\left(\frac12\right)^{3/2}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt2}.$$ Thus the intersection point in the upper half is $$\left(-\frac{1}{2\sqrt2},\frac{1}{2\sqrt2}\right).$$ In parametric form, $x+y=0$ becomes $$\cos^3\theta+\sin^3\theta=0.$$ In the upper half, this occurs at $$\theta=\frac{3\pi}{4}.$$ Also, for the upper half, $0\le \theta\le \pi$. The condition $x+y\ge 0$ keeps the part with $$0\le \theta\le \frac{3\pi}{4}.$$ So the required region is the sector-like part of the astroid traced by $$0\le \theta\le \frac{3\pi}{4}.$$ --- 3. **Area using parametric formula** For a closed curve segment with parametrization $(x(\theta),y(\theta))$, area under the arc and above the $x$-axis can be found by $$A=\int y\,dx$$ with sign adjusted appropriately. Since $x$ decreases on $[0,\pi]$, we use $$A=-\int_0^{3\pi/4} y\,\frac{dx}{d\theta}\,d\theta.$$ Now, $$x=\cos^3\theta \implies \frac{dx}{d\theta}=-3\cos^2\theta\sin\theta,$$ $$y=\sin^3\theta.$$ Therefore, $$A=-\int_0^{3\pi/4} \sin^3\theta\,(-3\cos^2\theta\sin\theta)\,d\theta =3\int_0^{3\pi/4} \sin^4\theta\cos^2\theta\,d\theta.$$ So, $$A=3\int_0^{3\pi/4} \sin^4\theta\cos^2\theta\,d\theta.$$ --- 4. **Simplify the integrand** Use $$\sin^2\theta=\frac{1-\cos2\theta}{2},\qquad \cos^2\theta=\frac{1+\cos2\theta}{2}.$$ Then $$\sin^4\theta\cos^2\theta=\left(\frac{1-\cos2\theta}{2}\right)^2\left(\frac{1+\cos2\theta}{2}\right).$$ But it is quicker to use the standard reduction result: $$\sin^4\theta\cos^2\theta =\frac{1}{16}-\frac{1}{32}\cos2\theta-\frac{1}{16}\cos4\theta+\frac{1}{32}\cos6\theta.$$ Hence, $$A=3\int_0^{3\pi/4}\left(\frac{1}{16}-\frac{1}{32}\cos2\theta-\frac{1}{16}\cos4\theta+\frac{1}{32}\cos6\theta\right)d\theta.$$ Integrating, $$A=3\left[\frac{\theta}{16}-\frac{1}{64}\sin2\theta-\frac{1}{64}\sin4\theta+\frac{1}{192}\sin6\theta\right]_0^{3\pi/4}.$$ Now, $$\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right)=-1,\qquad \sin(3\pi)=0,\qquad \sin\left(\frac{9\pi}{2}\right)=1.$$ So, $$A=3\left(\frac{3\pi/4}{16}-\frac{1}{64}(-1)-0+\frac{1}{192}(1)\right).$$ Thus, $$A=3\left(\frac{3\pi}{64}+\frac{1}{64}+\frac{1}{192}\right) =3\left(\frac{3\pi}{64}+\frac{4}{192}\right) =3\left(\frac{3\pi}{64}+\frac{1}{48}\right).$$ This introduces a non-$\pi$ term, which is impossible for this symmetric astroid-sector area setup, so let us instead use a cleaner geometric split. --- 5. **Cleaner method: upper-half area minus small left triangle-like part** The total area enclosed by the astroid $$x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=1$$ is known to be $$\frac{3\pi}{8}.$$ Therefore the upper half has area $$\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{3\pi}{8}=\frac{3\pi}{16}.$$ Now we remove the part in the upper half where $x+y<0$, i.e. the small region to the left of the line $y=-x$. By symmetry of the upper half about the $y$-axis? No, better compute directly: Required area $$A=\int_{-1/(2\sqrt2)}^1 y\,dx,$$ where on the upper branch, $$y=(1-x^{2/3})^{3/2}.$$ This is cumbersome. So we return to the parametric method, but compute correctly via Green's formula for the sector. For parametrized arc from $\theta=0$ to $\theta=3\pi/4$, together with line segments to the origin, the area is $$A=\frac12\int (x\,dy-y\,dx).$$ Since line segments contribute $0$, we only need the arc integral: $$A=\frac12\int_0^{3\pi/4}\left(x\frac{dy}{d\theta}-y\frac{dx}{d\theta}\right)d\theta.$$ Now, $$x=\cos^3\theta,\quad y=\sin^3\theta,$$ $$\frac{dx}{d\theta}=-3\cos^2\theta\sin\theta, \qquad \frac{dy}{d\theta}=3\sin^2\theta\cos\theta.$$ Thus, $$x\frac{dy}{d\theta}-y\frac{dx}{d\theta} =\cos^3\theta(3\sin^2\theta\cos\theta)-\sin^3\theta(-3\cos^2\theta\sin\theta)$$ $$=3\cos^4\theta\sin^2\theta+3\sin^4\theta\cos^2\theta$$ $$=3\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta) =3\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta.$$ Therefore, $$A=\frac{3}{2}\int_0^{3\pi/4}\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta\,d\theta.$$ Use $$\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta=\frac14\sin^22\theta=\frac18(1-\cos4\theta).$$ Hence, $$A=\frac{3}{2}\int_0^{3\pi/4}\frac18(1-\cos4\theta)\,d\theta =\frac{3}{16}\left[\theta-\frac{\sin4\theta}{4}\right]_0^{3\pi/4}.$$ Since $\sin(3\pi)=0$, $$A=\frac{3}{16}\cdot \frac{3\pi}{4}= rac{9\pi}{64}.$$ --- 6. **Compute the asked value** $$\frac{256A}{\pi}=\frac{256}{\pi}\cdot \frac{9\pi}{64}=4\cdot 9=36.$$ So the required integer is $$\boxed{36}.$$
