Prove or disprove this equation has infinitely many solutions

60 Views Asked by At

Prove or disprove following equation has infinitely many integer solutions in $\mathbb Z$:

$x^2+y^2-29t^2-40t=29$

$x^2+y^2=29t+40t+29=(25t^2+20t+4)+(4t^2+20t+25)$

$x^2=(5t+2)^2$$x=±(5t+2)$

$y^2=(2t+5)^2$$y=±(2t+5)$

The equation is symmetric for x and y, so are the solutions.Hence this equation has infinitely many solutions.

Is this solution reasonable? Is there a direct method for prove or disprove this?
