Episode 10: Diophantine Equations

A Diophantine equation* is an equation in which only integer solutions are allowed.

For the following Diophantine equations, try and find all solutions (or show that there is no solution).

1. 2x2-5y2=5z2-1

2. (x2-21)(x2+2)=y9

3. a2+b2=11c2




*My Number Theory final is just going to entail solving 7 of these types of problems!
