  • This one was hard to figure out. The problem entailed quite a number of deductions and reductions. I was able to confirm my solution with WolframAlpha.

    The reason you needed to choose the bigger range was because the two ranges overlap, and you had an OR between the two ranges, in that case you union the two ranges rather than intersect (which yields the bigger one). x > 0 OR x > 1 ==> x > 0, whereas x > 0 AND x > 1 ==> x > 1.

    Can I sugget the easier solution of the problem? 1+16y is a square of an integer (x, y are integer, so x²-y² is integer). Let 1+16y=z², where z is some integer. From here we have 16y=z²-1=(z-1)(z+1). As 16 is even then both z-1 and z+1 are even (as their difference is 2) or z=2k+1 where k is another integer. From here we have 16y=2k(2k+2) or 4y=k(k+1). On the right side we have a product of two consequative integers. On the left side there is a product of 4 and some integer y. It can only happen when y=0 (k=0 or k=-1) or y=3 (k=3) or y=5 (k=4). For each y from {0, 3, 5} we will find integer solutions x. Answer: (-1;0), (1;0), (-4;3), (4;3), (-4;5), (4;5).

      @@samuelgomes4288 k(k+1) is a product of two CONSEQUATIVE integers, so 4*y can be 3*4 or 4*5. y=0 is another solution when sequence does not matter. To be more strict 4*y=2*2*y and this combination can be product of two consequative integers k(k+1) if k=0 or k+1=0 or k=3 or k=4. If initially we woold have some other 4x integer instead of 16 - let say 24, then we would get 6y=k(k+1) and we would have more roots in addition to basic (y=0, y=5, y=7) as 6=2*3, so 2*3*y can be 2*3 if y=1.

    Since 1+ 16y is a perfect square, we can rewrite y = 4m^2 ± m (m is an integer)
    Then, y ≡ ±m (mod 4) and RHS = (8m ± 1)^2
    x^2 - y^2 = ±(8m ± 1), then x^2 = y^2 ±(8m ± 1)
    i) x^2 = y^2 + 8m + 1, (when y = 4m^2 + m)
    ≡ m^2 + 8m + 1 (mod 4)
    ≡ m^2 + 1 = 0 or 1 (since the square of an integer is congruent to 0 or 1 mod 4)
    ∴ m = 0, y = 0, x = ± 1
    ii) x^2 = y^2 + 8m - 1, (when y = 4m^2 - m)
    ≡ m^2 + 8m - 1 (mod 4)
    ≡ m^2 - 1 = 0 or 1
    ∴ m = ± 1
    when m = 1, y = 3, x = ± 4 and when m = -1, y = 5 and x = ± 4
    iii ) x^2 = y^2 - 8m - 1 ≡ m^2 - 1 (mod 4), The answer in this case is the same as in ii)
    iv) x^2 = y^2 - 8m + 1 ≡ m^2 + 1 (mod 4), The answer in this case is the same as in i)

    One other thing to notice was that if (x, y) is a solution then (-x, y) is also guaranteed to be a solution.
    You already know that y > 0. Now you can assume that x > 0 as well and if you get solutions just add the (-x, y) as well.

    at 18:24 we are in the case of y =3, and you said that (x² - y²) has to be 7, but it could theoretically also be -7, however then x² = -7 + y² = 2 which is not a perfect square, so we do not get additional solutions from it. but it has to be checked. You did check bothe signs later in the case y=5, though, but not for y=3.

    (x²-y²)²=1+16y
    x and y are integers
    RHS must be a perfect square
    It means that y={0,3,5}
    • If y=0 --> x=1
    • If y=3, (x²-y²)²=49
    x²-9=±7 --> x²=16
    x=±4
    • If y=5, (x²-y²)²=81
    x²-25=±9 --> x²=16

    But, When you separated the inequalities, What if Both of them are negative, that means Both expression are negative at same time, Which will yield positive Result, So, First One gives range [0,3] and second one gives [0,5]. now for integers common in these two Ranges, both terms will be negative, Hence entire expression will be positive. so we only needed to check in [3,5]....

    here's my solution
    (x^2 - y^2)^2 = 1 + 16y or
    [(x - y)(x+y)]^2 = 1 + 16y
    if (x,y) is a solution then (-x,y) is one too, so let's focus on a solution for which both x and y have same sign.
    [(x - y)(x+y)]^2 = [|x - y|*|x+y|]^2
    but |x - y| >= 1 and |x + y| >= |y| +1 therefore
    (|y| + 1)^2

    I figured out an alternate approach though it is a bit tedious and wouldn't really work if they gave a number much bigger than 16
    (x²-y²-1)(x²-y²+1) = 16y with y≥0 and y and x both integers means both factors should also be an integers
    x²-y²-1 = a and x²-y²+1 = b means a-b = -2
    ab = 16y
    Spliting up 16y gives 10 possible (a,b) pairs: (16,y) , (8,2y) , (4,4y), (2,8y) , (1,16y) and their reverses
    Plug each of these pairs into a-b = -2 then solving the 10 resulting linear equations for y, ignoring the non integer solutions gives y could possibly be 18,14,5,3,0
    plug in these 5 values of y back into the original equation to get the corresponding x, ignoring non integer values of x gives the 6 (x,y) pairs: (±4,5) , (±4,3) , (±1,0)

    You logic of squaring inequalities is wrong.
    x^2 - y^2 >= 2y + 1
    then
    (x^2 - y^2)^2 >= (2y + 1)^2
    For example

    but
    25 = 5^2 >= (-6)^2 = 36

      @@PrimeNewtons Sure, but for your proof to be rigorous, you need to mention that here that when squaring, both expressions have only positive quantities because 2 y + 1 >= 0 and 2 y - 1 >= 0. This assumes you eliminate y = 0 case and handle it explicitly and have y > 0.
      Now you can safely square and solve as you did.
      Also, not mentioning it risks that someone looking at this video uses this logic to solve some other problem and gets bitten because in LHS >= RHS, LHS > 0, RHS < 0 and |LHS| < |RHS|, making LHS^2 = RHS^2.

      Also, in the inequality you used
      x^2 - y^2 >= 2 y - 1 where y >= 0
      If you choose y = 0, your right hand side becomes -1 a negative number. So in theory, you cannot then say that (x^2 - y^2)^2 >= (2 y - 1)^2
      What saved you here is that the 0 < LHS < 1 is not possible because there is no integer between zero and one and LHS is a positive integer.
      If the numbers in a different problem created a gap and there could be some integer there and your logic could go wrong.
