Question Number 118196 by mathocean1 last updated on 15/Oct/20

solve in N:  b^3 (2b^2 +2b+1)=18360

$${solve}\:{in}\:\mathbb{N}: \\ $$$${b}^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{b}+\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{18360} \\ $$

b^3 (b^2 +(b+1)^2 ) = 18360  > 2b^5  (⇒ b≤6)  for b = 6 : 6^3 (6^2 +7^2 ) = 18360

$${b}^{\mathrm{3}} \left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({b}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\:=\:\mathrm{18360} \\ $$$$>\:\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{5}} \:\left(\Rightarrow\:{b}\leqslant\mathrm{6}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{b}\:=\:\mathrm{6}\::\:\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\:=\:\mathrm{18360} \\ $$

2b^5  ≈ ^5 (√((18360)/2)) ≈ 6,02  For b ≥ 7 expression > 18360  For b = 6 expression = 18360 OK!  For b < 6 expression < 18360

$$\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{5}} \:\approx\overset{\mathrm{5}} {\:}\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{18360}}{\mathrm{2}}}\:\approx\:\mathrm{6},\mathrm{02} \\ $$$$\mathrm{For}\:\mathrm{b}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{7}\:\mathrm{expression}\:>\:\mathrm{18360} \\ $$$$\mathrm{For}\:\mathrm{b}\:=\:\mathrm{6}\:\mathrm{expression}\:=\:\mathrm{18360}\:\mathrm{OK}! \\ $$$$\mathrm{For}\:\mathrm{b}\:<\:\mathrm{6}\:\mathrm{expression}\:<\:\mathrm{18360}\: \\ $$$$ \\ $$
