Problem
Let There exist unique positive integers such that Find
Solution
We have that Then so Squaring both sides, we get so Then
Since we can divide both sides of the given equation by to get Now, So, the equation reduces to We have that Thus, becomes Then Since is irrational, we want and to satisfy and Solving for and we find Hence, which means Also, we want to be divisible by 121 Since 2420 is divisible by 121, must be divisible by 121. Therefore, which implies and so
