[THOUGHT] The radii form a geometric sequence with ratio ρ = 1/3, leading to x₀ = √3 / 2, y₀ = 1/2. Thus x₀² ⋅ y₀ = 3/8. Verify 2024 × 3/8 = 759 using Python. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] print(2024 * 3 / 8) [/PYTHON]
[THOUGHT] The Python output confirms 2024 * (3/8) = 759.0, so the integer value is 759. [/THOUGHT] \boxed{759}
Explanation
The reasoning derives from the geometric configuration of the circles. The sequence of circles O1, O2, ... has radii forming a geometric series with common ratio ρ = 1/3, determined by the tangency conditions to segment PQ, the line y = -1, and the previous circle. The sum of their areas is ∑ π r_n² = π/8, where r1 is the radius of O1 and subsequent radii are r_n = r1 ρ^{n-1}. For a geometric series of areas, ∑ π r1² ρ^{2(n-1)} from n=1 to ∞ equals π r1² / (1 - ρ²) = π/8. Substituting ρ = 1/3 gives ρ² = 1/9, so 1 - ρ² = 8/9, yielding r1² / (8/9) = 1/8, hence r1² = 1/72. This configuration implies the point P(x0, y0) on the unit circle satisfies x0 = √3 / 2 and y0 = 1/2, as these coordinates align with the tangent and intersection geometry producing ρ = 1/3. Thus, x0² = 3/4 and x0² y0 = (3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8. Finally, 2024 * (3/8) is computed via Python as 759.
