Prove that the equation x^2+y^2=z^5 has an infinite number of positive integer solutions.

Not sure if this is included in any of the previous:

For all non-negative integers i,
Let J=i^2 + 1

X=J^2
Y=sqrt(J^5 - J^4) = i * J^2
Z=J

X^2 + Y^2 = J^4 + J^5 - J^4 = J^5 = Z^5

The first few are:
4, 4, 2
25, 50, 5
100, 300, 10
