Since

. Similarly, from the

second inequality:

And it follows that it gives us

And since

that square roots must be positive, we get at the domain for

and the fact

. Simplify this to arrive . Repeat this process for

to get a domain of . For , since

square roots are positive, we can exclude the negative values of the previous domain to arrive at

as the domain of

. We now arrive at a

domain with a single number that defines , however, since we are looking for the largest value for for which the domain of

is nonempty, we must continue until

to get a domain of

we arrive at a domain that is empty. We continue with

. Solve for to get

. Since square roots cannot be negative,

.

this is the last nonempty domain. We add to get

22. First, notice that there must be four rays emanating from

that intersect the , the number of

four corners of the square region. Depending on the location of the corner-most point that is

rays distributed among these four triangular sectors will vary. We start by finding

-ray partitional (let this point be the

bottom-left-most point). We first draw the four rays that intersect the vertices. At this point, the triangular sectors with bases as the sides of the square that the point is closest to both do not have rays dividing their areas. Therefore, their heights are equivalent since their areas are equal. The remaining other two triangular sectors, each sector with sectors into

rays are divided among the

rays, thus dividing these two

triangles of equal areas. Let the distance from this corner point to the

closest side be and the side of the square be . From this, we get the equation

we also move one ray from the right sector to the left sector, which determines
