Suppose that $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{7}]$ where $\alpha$ is of the form $a + b\sqrt{7}$ where $a, b \in \mathbb{Z}$. Because $\alpha$ is a unit if and only if $N(\alpha)=\pm 1$ we must show:
$N(\alpha) = a^2 - 7b^2 = \pm 1$
has infinitely many solutions for $\alpha$. Not quite sure how show this. I am trying to find an $\alpha$ that satisfies the equation and then use the fact that $\mu^n$ is a unit if $\mu$ is a unit.
What about $(8+3\sqrt 7)^n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$? (For finding all units the key words are "Pell's equation".)
