Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Intersection of Sets: The intersection of two sets AA and BB, denoted by ABA \cap B, is the set of all elements that are in both AA and BB.
  • Geometric Representation of Sets:
    • x2+y2=r2x^2+y^2=r^2 represents a circle centered at the origin with radius rr.
    • x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 represents an ellipse centered at the origin with semi-major/minor axes aa and bb.
    • x2+y2r2x^2+y^2 \leq r^2 represents the region inside and on the circle of radius rr centered at the origin.
  • Number of One-One Functions: If XX is a set with mm elements and YY is a set with nn elements, the number of one-one functions from XX to YY is given by P(n,m)=n!(nm)!P(n, m) = \frac{n!}{(n-m)!}, provided nmn \geq m. If n<mn < m, the number of one-one functions is 0.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Determine the cardinality of set DD

The set DD is the intersection of sets AA and BB, i.e., D=ABD = A \cap B. The equations defining AA and BB are: A={(x,y)R×R:x2+y2=25}A=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}: x^2+y^2=25\right\} B={(x,y)R×R:x2+9y2=144}B=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}: x^2+9 y^2=144\right\}

Set AA is a circle with radius 5 centered at the origin. Set BB is an ellipse. Dividing the equation by 144, we get x2144+y216=1\frac{x^2}{144} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1, which is an ellipse with semi-major axis a=12a=12 along the x-axis and semi-minor axis b=4b=4 along the y-axis.

To find the points in DD, we need to solve the system of equations:

  1. x2+y2=25x^2+y^2=25
  2. x2+9y2=144x^2+9y^2=144

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2): (x2+9y2)(x2+y2)=14425(x^2+9y^2) - (x^2+y^2) = 144 - 25 8y2=1198y^2 = 119 y2=1198y^2 = \frac{119}{8}

Substitute y2y^2 back into equation (1): x2+1198=25x^2 + \frac{119}{8} = 25 x2=251198=2001198=818x^2 = 25 - \frac{119}{8} = \frac{200 - 119}{8} = \frac{81}{8}

Now we find the possible values for xx and yy: x=±818=±922=±924x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{81}{8}} = \pm \frac{9}{2\sqrt{2}} = \pm \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{4} y=±1198=±11922=±2384y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{119}{8}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{119}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{238}}{4}

Since x2x^2 and y2y^2 are positive, there are real solutions for xx and yy. The ±\pm signs indicate that for each value of xx, there are two possible values of yy, and vice versa. The four points of intersection are: (924,2384),(924,2384),(924,2384),(924,2384)\left(\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{4}, \frac{\sqrt{238}}{4}\right), \left(\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{4}, -\frac{\sqrt{238}}{4}\right), \left(-\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{4}, \frac{\sqrt{238}}{4}\right), \left(-\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{4}, -\frac{\sqrt{238}}{4}\right). These are four distinct real points. Therefore, the cardinality of set DD is D=4|D|=4.

Step 2: Determine the cardinality of set CC

The set CC is defined as: C={(x,y)Z×Z:x2+y24}C=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}: x^2+y^2 \leq 4\right\} This means we need to find all pairs of integers (x,y)(x,y) that lie inside or on the circle x2+y2=4x^2+y^2=4 (a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin).

We list the integer points systematically:

  • If x=0x=0: y24    y{2,1,0,1,2}y^2 \leq 4 \implies y \in \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}. This gives points: (0,2),(0,1),(0,0),(0,1),(0,2)(0,-2), (0,-1), (0,0), (0,1), (0,2) (5 points).
  • If x=1x=1: 1+y24    y23    y{1,0,1}1+y^2 \leq 4 \implies y^2 \leq 3 \implies y \in \{-1, 0, 1\}. This gives points: (1,1),(1,0),(1,1)(1,-1), (1,0), (1,1) (3 points).
  • If x=1x=-1: 1+y24    y23    y{1,0,1}1+y^2 \leq 4 \implies y^2 \leq 3 \implies y \in \{-1, 0, 1\}. This gives points: (1,1),(1,0),(1,1)(-1,-1), (-1,0), (-1,1) (3 points).
  • If x=2x=2: 4+y24    y20    y=04+y^2 \leq 4 \implies y^2 \leq 0 \implies y=0. This gives point: (2,0)(2,0) (1 point).
  • If x=2x=-2: 4+y24    y20    y=04+y^2 \leq 4 \implies y^2 \leq 0 \implies y=0. This gives point: (2,0)(-2,0) (1 point).
  • If x>2|x| > 2, then x2>4x^2 > 4, so x2+y2>4x^2+y^2 > 4 for any real yy, thus no integer points exist.

The total number of integer points in set CC is 5+3+3+1+1=135 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 13. Therefore, the cardinality of set CC is C=13|C|=13.

Step 3: Calculate the total number of one-one functions

We need to find the number of one-one functions from set DD to set CC. The domain is set DD with D=m=4|D|=m=4. The codomain is set CC with C=n=13|C|=n=13.

Since nmn \geq m (13413 \geq 4), the number of one-one functions is given by the permutation formula P(n,m)P(n, m): Number of one-one functions =P(13,4)=13!(134)!=13!9!= P(13, 4) = \frac{13!}{(13-4)!} = \frac{13!}{9!} P(13,4)=13×12×11×10P(13, 4) = 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 P(13,4)=156×110P(13, 4) = 156 \times 110 P(13,4)=17160P(13, 4) = 17160

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Domain of Coordinates: Be careful to distinguish between R×R\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} (real numbers) and Z×Z\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} (integers). This distinction is critical for determining the elements of sets DD and CC.
  • Integer Points: When dealing with sets defined by inequalities and integer coordinates (like set CC), systematically list all possible integer values to avoid missing any points.
  • Permutation Formula: Ensure you are using the correct formula for one-one functions, which is P(n,m)P(n, m), not combinations or other permutation formulas. Remember that the order of mapping matters for functions.

Summary

The problem requires finding the number of one-one functions from set DD to set CC. First, we determined that set DD, the intersection of a circle and an ellipse, contains 4 distinct real points. Next, we identified the integer coordinate points within or on a circle of radius 2, finding that set CC contains 13 such points. Finally, using the formula for the number of one-one functions, P(n,m)P(n, m), with n=C=13n=|C|=13 and m=D=4m=|D|=4, we calculated the total number of one-one functions to be P(13,4)=17160P(13, 4) = 17160.

The final answer is \boxed{17160}.
