Hello Guest,

 

How many integer solutions for (a, b) satisfied the following equation

a^2+b^2=ab^2

 

a2+b2=ab2

 

(a, b)=(2,± 2)

(a, b)=(± 2, 2)

        (a, b)=(0, 0)

 

Hope this was helpful . . . ^^

Is the expression on the right supposed to be (ab)2  or  a • b2   ?

Hello Guest,

 

Is the expression on the right supposed to be (ab)²  or  a • b²   ? 

 

In this case a2+b2=ab2 , whereby one can also rewrite this to ab2 .

Fist thing I did was graph it.

 

https://www.geogebra.org/classic/svfrstbf

 

a^2+b^2=ab^2

its symetrical so I want to look at the top half   b>0 (then I will double the number of answers)

 

a2=ab2b2a2=b2(a1)b=aa1

 

a has to be greater than 1,  

 

For b to be an integer  

a^2 = k (a-1)     where k is an integer

---------------------------------

yea I don't know.

There are at least 2 answers.
