A Partition and a Parallelogram

Problem

Sets A,B,CA,B,C with AB=A\cap B=\varnothing and AB=CA\cup B=C are said to give a partition (A,B)(A,B) of CC.

1. Let A1={xtan(πx2+π4)=1, xR}A_1=\left\{x\mid\tan\left(\dfrac{\pi x}2+\dfrac{\pi}4\right)=-1,\ x\in\mathbb R\right\}, B1={xcos(πx)=1, xR}B_1=\{x\mid\cos(\pi x)=1,\ x\in\mathbb R\}, C1={xsin(πx)=0, xR}C_1=\{x\mid\sin(\pi x)=0,\ x\in\mathbb R\}. Determine whether (A1,B1)(A_1,B_1) is a partition of C1C_1, and justify. 2. Let f(x)=xaxbf(x)=\sqrt{\dfrac{x-a}{x-b}} (a>ba>b) and

g(x)=sin(λ+μ)xsin(λμ)x+cos(λ+μ)xcos(λμ)x,λ,μR.g(x)=\frac{\sin(\lambda+\mu)x}{\sin(\lambda-\mu)x}+\frac{\cos(\lambda+\mu)x}{\cos(\lambda-\mu)x},\qquad\lambda,\mu\in\mathbb R.

Let A2={xy=f(x)}A_2=\{x\mid y=f(x)\} (the domain of ff) and B2={yy=g(x)}B_2=\{y\mid y=g(x)\} (the range of gg). Given that when λ=5\lambda=5, μ=4\mu=4, the pair (A2,B2)(A_2,B_2) is a partition of R\mathbb R: a parallelogram P1P2P3P4P_1P_2P_3P_4 has all four vertices on the graph of h(x)=log2x+1x1h(x)=\log_2\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}, with the xx-coordinate of P1P_1 equal to a7a-7 and that of P2P_2 equal to 23b-\dfrac 23b. Find the area of the parallelogram P1P2P3P4P_1P_2P_3P_4.
