(B) $\pi + 2$ $\pi + 2$

(D) $2\pi + \sqrt{2}$ $2\pi + \sqrt{2}$

(E) $2\pi + 2\sqrt{2}$ $2\pi + 2\sqrt{2}$

Answer

Correct choice: (B)

正确答案：（B）

Solution

Answer (B): The graph of the equation is symmetric about both axes. In the first quadrant, the equation is equivalent to $x^2+y^2-x-y=0$. Completing the square gives $(x-\frac{1}{2})^2+(y-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{2}$, so the graph in the first quadrant is an arc of the circle that is centered at $C(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$ and contains the points $A(1,0)$ and $B(0,1)$. Because $C$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$, the arc is a semicircle. The region enclosed by the graph in the first quadrant is the union of isosceles right triangle $AOB$, where $O(0,0)$ is the origin, and a semicircle with diameter $\overline{AB}$. The triangle and the semicircle have areas $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\pi\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\pi}{4}$, respectively, so the area of the region enclosed by the graph in all quadrants is $4\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\pi+2$.

答案（B）：该方程的图像关于两条坐标轴都对称。在第一象限中，方程等价于 $x^2+y^2-x-y=0$。配方得 $(x-\frac{1}{2})^2+(y-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{2}$，因此第一象限中的图像是一段圆弧，该圆以 $C(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$ 为圆心，并经过点 $A(1,0)$ 和 $B(0,1)$。由于 $C$ 是线段 $\overline{AB}$ 的中点，这段圆弧是一条半圆弧。第一象限内由图像围成的区域由等腰直角三角形 $AOB$（其中 $O(0,0)$ 为原点）与一条以 $\overline{AB}$ 为直径的半圆组成。三角形与半圆的面积分别为 $\frac{1}{2}$ 和 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\pi\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\pi}{4}$，因此四个象限内图像围成的总面积为 $4\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\pi+2$。
