I am working on a problem and encountered the following problem:
Given a,b element of {1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29} and also given that :
x,y element of N+{0}.
Now I want to *formlulate* the numbers that are _not_ reachable by the equation :
z = ax + by + 30xy

The formula(tion) should tell instantly whether z is reachable or not for any z element N

Any hints or even resolves are highly appreciated.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
(a, b, x, y) = (1, 29, z, 0) shows that all z in N are reachable.
 
All clear ... a discount on my side. Meant are a,b element of {7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31}, that is wo. the trivial option.
Thank for your reply.
