f(x)+f(y)=x2+6x+y2+6y+2=(x+3)2+(y+3)2−16 and f(x)−f(y)=(x2+6x+1)−(y2+6y+1) =x2−y2+6(x−y) f(x)−f(y)=(x−y)(x+y+6) now (x+3)2+(y+3)2≤16 and (x−y)(x+y+6)≤0 x−y≥0 and x+y+6≤0 or x−y≤0 and x+y+6≥0
each of these inequality describes a half plane bounded by a line that passes through (−3,−3) and has slope 1 or -1 .
Thus the set R is half the area of the circle i.e. 2πr2=8π
