Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Determine the range for x2x^2.

    Given the inequality for xx:

    2<x<42 < x < 4

    Since xx is positive, squaring all parts of the inequality will maintain the direction of the inequalities:

    22<x2<422^2 < x^2 < 4^2 4<x2<164 < x^2 < 16
  2. Determine the range for y2y^2.

    Given the inequality for yy:

    3<y<73 < y < 7

    Since yy is positive, squaring all parts of the inequality will maintain the direction of the inequalities:

    32<y2<723^2 < y^2 < 7^2 9<y2<499 < y^2 < 49
  3. Determine the range for x2+y2x^2 + y^2.

    To find the range for the sum x2+y2x^2 + y^2, we add the corresponding lower bounds and upper bounds of the individual ranges:
    Lower bound: 4+9=134 + 9 = 13
    Upper bound: 16+49=6516 + 49 = 65
    So, the range for x2+y2x^2 + y^2 is:

    13<x2+y2<6513 < x^2 + y^2 < 65
  4. Find the largest integer value for x2+y2x^2 + y^2.

    The inequality 13<x2+y2<6513 < x^2 + y^2 < 65 means that x2+y2x^2 + y^2 must be strictly less than 65. The largest integer that is strictly less than 65 is 64.

    The largest integer value for x2+y2x^2 + y^2 is 64\boxed{\text{64}}.
