KISS solution (Posted on 2021-12-29) Difficulty: 1 of 5
(x+y)^2=x^3+y^3

The above is a d2 or d3 problem if one tries simulation or algebraic solution.

Now solve it d1!

Non negative integers, of course !

re: levels - the graph | Comment 4 of 8 |
(In reply to levels by Charlie)

(x+y)^2=x^3+y^3 can be factored into

(x+y) * (x^2-yx+y^2-x-y) = 0
Then by zero product property the graph is a union of the line y=-x and the conic curve x^2-yx+y^2-x-y = 0  The discriminant of the curve is (-1)^2-4*1*1=-3<0, so we know its an ellipse.

But I can manipulate the conic and rewrite it as (1/4)*(x+y-2)^2 + (3/4)(x-y)^2 = 1.  x+y-2=0 and x-y=0 are orthogonal lines which make up the ellipse's two axis.

So taking x-y=0 and (3/4)(x-y)^2 = 1 gives (0,0) and (2,2) for the endpoints of the x-y=0 axis
Similarly taking x+y-2=0 and (1/4)*(x+y-2)^2 = 1 gives (1+sqrt(1/3),  1-sqrt(1/3)) and (1-sqrt(1/3),  1+sqrt(1/3)) for the endpoints of the x+y-2=0 axis.
