Pythagorean triples with
given endings
Here is yet another method
to identify Pythagorean triples with given endings.
The Pythagorean triples (a,b,c)
satisfy the relation a2 + b2 = c2 .Let us try
to find a series of Phythagorean triples ending with 3,4 and 5 (greatest)
The most general form for
this set is
(10x+3)2 +
(10y+4)2 = (10z+5)2. It gives a condition for the
suitable values of x,y,and z.- 5(x2 + y2) +3x +4y =
5z(z+1)
The other requirement for
the Pythagorean triples is a+b = c+2α
,where α may be either odd or even. When we apply this
condition to our general form ,it predicts α takes only certain allowed values
1,6,11,16,21… and so on.
α = 1 ; x+y = z
α
= 6 ; x+y-1= z
α
= 11 ; x+y-2 = z
α
= 16 ; x+y -3 = z
When
α = 1
5(x2 + y2)
+3x +4y = 5 (x+y)(x+y+1) ,it is reduced to 10xy+2x+y = 0. The oly possibility
is x=0;y=0 and z=0.
When α = 6
5(x2 + y2)
+3x +4y = 5(x+y-1)(x+y) ,the required condition becomes x = 9y/[2(5y-4)].If x
and y are positive integers,the pre determined endings will not altered.For
example when y=1 then x = 9/2 which gives
Irreducible triple 72
+ 242 = 252; When y=3 ;x=27/22 which gives 842 + 1872
= 2052
When α = 11 ,the required condition becomes x
= (19y-10)/(10y-18) with y being even.When y=2 ,x=14.It gives (143,24,145)
Y=4
gives (3,4,5)
Y=6
gives (583,1344,1465)
Y=8
gives (803,2604,2725)
