Question 1199652
<font color=black size=3>
x^2+y^2 ≤ 36
x^2+(x-4)^2 ≤ 36  ............... plug in y = x-4
x^2+x^2-8x+16 ≤ 36
2x^2-8x+16 ≤ 36
2x^2-8x+16-36 ≤ 0
2x^2-8x-20 ≤ 0
2(x^2-4x-10) ≤ 0
x^2-4x-10 ≤ 0


Use the quadratic formula to determine that the two roots of x^2-4x-10 = 0 are roughly:
x = -1.7417
x = 5.7417
You can confirm these roots are correct through the use of a graphing calculator (eg: Desmos or GeoGebra)


This means 
x^2-4x-10 ≤ 0
leads to
-1.7417 ≤ x ≤ 5.7417
This portion of the parabola is below the x axis.


Because x is an integer, we then say
-1 ≤ x ≤ 5


This provides the following possible values for x:
{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
There are <font size=3 color=red>7</font> items in this set.
They correspond to the <font size=3 color=red>7</font> different (x,y) integer solutions that satisfy the original inequality and equation.


For instance, x = 3 leads to y = x-4 = 3-4 = -1. 
The point (3,-1) is one of the seven integer solutions.
Check:
x^2+y^2 ≤ 36
3^2+(-1)^2 ≤ 36
9+1 ≤ 36
10 ≤ 36
We arrive at a true statement at the end.
That solution (3,-1) has been confirmed with the inequality.
I'll let you check the other 6 solutions.
