(16) Find two numbers whose sum is a square, the sum of their squares a square, and either added to the square of the other a square. Let 1 -x and r be the numbers; then their sum 1 x 16 2 +x2=0= -x a square, and ———+r+ra2==+r a square; and, 2+x+x=口=i+ 2 (17) Find two such numbers, that if their product be added to the sum of their squares, the sum shall be a square. Let 2r be their sum and 2y be their difference; then the greater will be x+y and the less r-y; hence xa—y2= their product, and 2x2+2y2= the sum of their squares; then, by the question, 3x2+y2=□=nx—y] 2 and ; if n=2 and y=2, x=8, which will answer the conditions. (18) To find two square numbers, such, that the difference of their cube roots shall be a square number. Let x and y be the required numbers. Then r2-y; consequently, x and y may be any two numbers which are the hypotenuse and one leg of a right-angled triangle, and the least numbers of this description are 5 and 3, and the numbers themselves 15625=1252 and 729=272. (19) Find three numbers, such, that not only the sum of all three of them, but also the sum of every two, shall be a □. Put 4r, x2-4x, and 2x+1 for the three numbers; then it only remains to render 6x+1=0. if n=12, x=20, which will answer the conditions of the problem. (20) Find two numbers, such, that the sum of their squares and the sum of their cubes shall be both squares. Let b be the base, p the perpendicular, and h the hypotenuse of a rational right-angled triangle, r any multiplier of b, p, and h; then (br)2+(px)2=(hx)2, but (br)+(px)= a rational square r; hence (b3+p3).x=r3, or x= ; now if r=b3+p3, . . x=b3+p3, and b.x=b(b3+p3), px=p× (b3+p3); now let b=3, p=4; then is x=91, br=273, and pr=364. If b=6 and p=8, then x=728, br=4368, and pr=5824, and so on in general. (21) Find a number to which if 8 be added, the sum shall be a cube, and from which if 1 be subtracted, the remainder shall be a cube. Let r be the number; b=2, c=1; then r+b3= a cube and r-c3= a cube; hence x+b3=(b+ [a)3=b3+3c3a+%26a2+ c2 3c4 c6 b6a3; Assume x-c3=(a—c)3= a cube =a3—3a2c+3ac2—c3, and ..x=a3 -3a2c+3ac2; and, equating both values of x, we get and, putting the right-hand member of this equation into numbers, we get (22) To find three square numbers,such, that the sum of every two of them shall be a square number. Let x2, y2, and z2 be the numbers sought. Then x2+z2, y2+z2, and x2+y2 are the three numbers; i. c., which are evidently two squares; and therefore it remains to make a square number. 4m2n2 Hence (m2-1)3.n2 + (n-1). m2, or (m+1)3.

(m+3)2 × (m+1)3, a To obtain the answer in whole numbers, let z=528;* then x=— =-6325, and y=-5796. Hence 528, -5796, -6325 are the roots of the squares, and 5282, 57962, 63252 are the squares required. (23) To find three cube numbers, such, that if from every one of them a given number 1, be subtracted, the sum of the remainders shall be a square. Let 1+x, 2-x, and 2 represent the required roots. Then, per question, (1+x)3-1+(2-x)3-1+8-1=0; (24) It is required to find three integral square numbers, such, that the difference of every two of them shall be a square number. Let the roots of the required numbers be denoted by Assume then and but s2+y2, s2—y3, and r2+x2. r2 — x2 — s2 = y2=0 y=-2r2-2r2s2+x+2x2s2+81 ; =(r2+x2)2 — (s2 —r2+x2+s2)2=r1+Qr2x2+x1—s1+2r2s2 — 2s2x2 — 2s1—pt * The least common multiple of the denominators, 48 and 44.

Let 2x, 6x, and 9r denote the three roots; by the question, +1= = 422 422 z2-2z+1 2z Assume yo+2y=(~*~1)°; and .. y2+2y+1=(~~-~-1)2+1= 2z 4z2 _2^ — 222 + 4 22 + 1 _** + 2-3 +1(+1); and, consequently, y+1 2 2z But ..(-1)+12zX (z-1)2= =(-1)3× (2-1)2+12%.
