p=(√(n−8))+(√(n+8))⇒n≥8  p^2 =2n−2(√(n^2 −64))  ⇒(√(4(n^2 −64)))=2n−p^2   since n,p∈Z⇒(√(4(n^2 −64)))∈Z  ⇒∃m∈Z⇒4n^2 −16^2 =m^2   ⇒4∣m^2 ⇒2∣m, so let m→2m  ⇒4n^2 −16^2 =4m^2   ⇒n^2 −8^2 =m^2 ⇒(n−m)(n+m)=8^2 =2^6   also n≥8⇒n+m≥8  ⇒n+m=8,16,32,64  n−m=8,4,2,1  so  (n,m)∈{(8,0),(10,6),(17,15)}  this is necessary but insufficient  aftef check  n=8⇒p=(√(8−8))+(√(8+8))=4∈Z  n=10⇒p=(√(10−8))+(√(10+8))=10(√2)∉Z  n=17⇒p=(√(17−8))+(√(17+8))=8∈Z  ⇒n∈{8,17}  Ans. 25
