Problem
A point whose coordinates are both integers is called a lattice point. How many lattice points lie on the hyperbola ?
Solution
Note that and have the same parities, so both must be even. We first give a factor of to both and . We have left. Since there are factors of , and since both and can be negative, this gives us lattice points.
Final answer
98
