A^2 = B^3 + C^3

Posted on February 4, 2017 by benvitalis

Solve, given all unknowns are non-zero integers

$A^2 \; = \; B^3 \; + \; C^3$
$B^2 \; = \; C^3 \; + \; D^3$
$C^2 \; = \; D^3 \; + \; E^3$
$D^2 \; = \; E^3 \; + \; F^3$
$E^2 \; = \; F^3 \; + \; G^3$
$F^2 \; = \; G^3 \; + \; A^3$

Posted on February 4, 2017 by benvitalis

The set $\{ \, a, \; b, \; c, \; d, \; e \, \}$ has the property that the product of any two of them plus one is the square of a rational number.

$a \,b + 1$ ………. $b \,c + 1$ ………. $c \,d + 1$ ………. $d \,e + 1$
$a \,c + 1$ ………. $b \,d + 1$ ………. $c \,e + 1$
$a \,d + 1$ ………. $b \,e + 1$
$a \,e + 1$

are all perfect squares

Here we have $a = 4$
