AI Thread Summary
The equation A - B - q^n + r^n = 0 is analyzed under the conditions that A and B are coprime, with A being odd and B even, while n is odd. A proposed solution is n=1, with A=q and B=r. It is implied that since A is divisible by q and B by r, q and r must also be coprime. The discussion highlights the complexity of finding a complete set of solutions while confirming the validity of the proposed solution. Overall, the relationship between the variables and their properties is crucial for solving the equation.

A - B - q^n + r^n = 0, (A, B) co prime, A odd, B even, n odd, gcd (A / q, q) = 1, gcd (B / r, r) = 1

Problem
A - B - q^n + r^n = 0,
(A, B) co prime,
A odd,
B even,
n odd,
gcd (A / q, q) = 1,
gcd (B / r, r) = 1.

I'm not sure about a total set of solutions, but ##n=1##, ##A=q## and ##B=r## is one solution.

It's not explicitly stated, but since ##A##is divisible by ##q## and ##B## is divisible by ##r##, ##q## and ##r## are coprime as well.
 
You did great !
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
