Step-by-step explanation:
x=ab
Then you get:
x+1x=1
If x is positive, then this is always greater than 2, because:
x+1x=2+(x−−√−1x√)2
And similarly if x is negative this is always less than -2.
But there are solutions in complex numbers, you can rewrite as quadratic by multiplying both sides by x and rewriting in standard form.
x2−x+1=0
You will get:
x=1±i3√2
You can notice the fact that:
x=cos(π3)±isin(π3)
1x=cos(π3)∓isin(π3)
So for every integer k,
xk=cos(k×π3)±isin(k×π3)
Which means, whenever k is a multiple of 3 it is either -1 or +1.
x3m={−1+1 if m is odd if m is even
Now the original problem,
a3+b3=b3((ab)3+1)=b3(x3+1)=b3×0=0
More generally, For all integers m.
a6m+3+b6m+3=0
a6m−b6m=0
