I find this fundamentally wrong. Pls explain?

There is no way you can get any possible rational number with very limited values of the expressions ( a^2 + b^3 ) for any positive a or b and ( c^5 + d^7 ) for any positive c or d.

I have tried it for very simple rational numbers there is no solution?
