Correct answer: 40
- Interpret the condition carefully
The set is
Since
we have
So,
Thus we need integer lattice points satisfying
- Square the inequality
Since all quantities are positive,
More precisely,
is incorrect directly; we must square properly:
becomes
This is correct because squaring gives
Let
Then , and we need
So we are counting integer lattice points whose squared distance from the origin is one of
(We exclude .)
- Count solutions for each possible value of
(i)
Possible points:
Count: .
(ii)
Possible points:
Count: .
(iii)
Possible points:
Count: .
(iv)
Possible points:
Count: .
(v)
Possible points:
Count: .
(vi)
Possible points:
Count: .
(vii)
Possible points:
Count: .
- Add all counts
Total number of points is
- Final answer
Hence, the number of elements in the set is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
Our derived answer also equals , so they agree.
