  • Answer

A particle is located on the coordinate plane at (5,0)(5,0). Define a move for the particle as a counterclockwise rotation of π/4\pi/4 radians about the origin followed by a translation of 1010 units in the positive xx-direction. Given that the particle's position after 150150 moves is (p,q)(p,q), find the greatest integer less than or equal to ∣p∣+∣q∣|p| + |q|.
