Math Problem Statement
x^3 + y^3 = z^3
Solution
The equation you provided,
is a classic example of a Diophantine equation, which seeks integer solutions for , , and . According to Fermat's Last Theorem, no three positive integers , , and can satisfy this equation for . Therefore, for , as in your case, there are no positive integer solutions that satisfy this equation.
Reasoning:
- Fermat's Last Theorem states that has no non-zero integer solutions for , , and when is an integer greater than 2.
- In this case, since , the theorem applies, and we conclude that there are no non-trivial solutions (non-zero integer values for , , and ).
