Math Problem Statement

x^3 + y^3 = z^3

Solution

The equation you provided,

x3+y3=z3x^3 + y^3 = z^3

is a classic example of a Diophantine equation, which seeks integer solutions for xx, yy, and zz. According to Fermat's Last Theorem, no three positive integers xx, yy, and zz can satisfy this equation for n>2n > 2. Therefore, for n=3n = 3, as in your case, there are no positive integer solutions that satisfy this equation.

Reasoning:

  1. Fermat's Last Theorem states that xn+yn=znx^n + y^n = z^n has no non-zero integer solutions for xx, yy, and zz when nn is an integer greater than 2.
  2. In this case, since n=3n = 3, the theorem applies, and we conclude that there are no non-trivial solutions (non-zero integer values for xx, yy, and zz).
