For any $x$ and $y$ satisfying $x > 0$ and $y > 0$, let $m$ be the smallest value among $\frac { y } { x } , x$ and $\frac { 8 } { y }$.
Also, let $A$ be the set of points $( x , y )$ where $m = \frac { y } { x }$, and let $B$ be the set of points $( x , y )$ where $m = \frac { 8 } { y }$.
(1) For $\mathbf { M } \sim$ S in the following sentence, choose the correct answer from among choices (0) $\sim$ (7) below. $A$ and $B$ can be expressed as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}
& A = \{ ( x , y ) \mid \mathbf { M } \leqq \mathbf { N } , \quad \mathbf { O } \leqq 8\mathbf { P } \} \\
& B = \{ ( x , y ) \mid 8 \mathbf { Q } \leqq \mathbf { R } , \quad 8 \leqq \mathbf { S } \} .
\end{aligned}$$
(0) $x$
(1) $y$
(2) $x + y$
(3) $x - y$
(4) $x ^ { 2 }$
(5) $x y$ (6) $y ^ { 2 }$ (7) $x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 }$
(2) For $\mathbf { T }$ and $\mathbf { U }$ in the following sentence, choose the correct answer from among choices (0) $\sim$ (8).
When sets $A$ and $B$ are indicated on the $xy$-plane, $A$ is the shaded portion of graph $\mathbf{T}$ and $B$ is the shaded portion of graph $\mathbf{U}$. Note that the $x$ and $y$ axes are not included in the shaded portions.
(3) We are to find the maximum value of $m$ when a point $\mathrm { P } ( x , y )$ moves within $A \cup B$.
When $\mathrm { P } ( x , y ) \in A$, since $y = m x$, we need to find the point P which maximizes the slope of the straight line passing through the origin O and P.
Also, when $\mathrm { P } ( x , y ) \in B$, since $m = \frac { 8 } { y }$, we need to find the point P at which the $y$ coordinate of P is minimized.
From the above, at $( x , y ) = ( \mathbf { V } , \mathbf { W } ) , m$ takes the maximum value $\mathbf { X }$.
