Determine all possible triplets (x,y,n) of positive integers, with n>1, that satisfy this equation:
xn - yn = 2015
(In reply to
Solution by Brian Smith)
I am always supportive of a semi-analytic solution over a computer assisted methodology and always include the available analytic methodologies in my official solution.
However, in previous instances of my submitted problems like x^n - y^n = b, no one ever bothered to come up with an analytic solution. That is the reason for the inclusion of a computer program assisted methodology in my official solution..
Had I known that you had a analytic methodology ready for submission a couple of hours later, I certainly would have waited for a couple more days before positing the official solution.
