= 2(x – 2y)2 + (x – 2)2 + (y + 3)2 ≥ 0.
M is not negative. Further, the system x – 2y = 0, x = 2, y + 3 = 0 has no solution for (x, y), so M
must be positive, i.e. the answer is (1)

x < 3, i.e. x = 1 or 2.
By checking, x = 1 does not satisfy the original equation, and x = 2 satisfies the given equation.
Thus, the answer is (2)

then

c = cos(– sin40º) = cos(sin40º) > 0
d = cos (– cos 40º) = cos(cos40º) > 0
but sin40º < cos 40º ...(1)
cos(sin 40º) > cos(cos 40º)

again (1) ⇒ sin(sin 40º) < sin(cos 40º)
