(y−1)(y+1)(y^2 +1)=x(x+1)(x^2 +1)  ⇒y=x⇒(x^2 +1)(x+1)=0  ⇒x=y=−1 ✓
(y1)(y+1)(y2+1)=x(x+1)(x2+1)y=x(x2+1)(x+1)=0x=y=1

x^4 <x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1=(x^2 +1)(x^2 +x)  <x^4 +4x^3 +6x^2 +4x+1=(x+1)^4   when x>0. If x<−1, then x^4 >x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1  >(x+1)^4   when 0<x<−1,then x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1>x^4 >(x+1)^4   So,x is never an integer then  This implies x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1  is always in-between two consecutive perfect  fourth powers x^4  and (x+1)^4  when x>0 or x<−1,   so it can′t be a fourth power unless it is equal to   one of them. [Or one can conclude from here  that there are only two integers left {−1,0}   for x.].   x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1=x^4 ⇒x=−1⇒y^4 =1⇒y=+_− 1  x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x+1=(x+1)^4 ⇒x=0⇒y=+_− 1  ⇒(x,y)=(−1,1),(−1,−1),(0,1),(0,−1).
