Question Number 110644 by Aina Samuel Temidayo last updated on 29/Aug/20
The Diophantine equation  x^2 +y^2 +1 =N(xy+1) has  infinitely many integer  solutions if N equals?  Any help please?

No one has been able to solve this?

if N=2  x^2 +y^2 +1=2xy+2  (x−y)^2 =1⇒x−y=±1
$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{2xy}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{y}=\pm\mathrm{1} \\ $$

Yes but how did you arrive at N=2?

i mean- can′t you see that x^2 +y^2 −2xy=(x−y)^2 ??
$$\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{mean}-\:\mathrm{can}'\mathrm{t}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{see}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2xy}=\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ?? \\ $$
