Find all nonnegative integer solutions to x3+8x2−6x+8=y3.
The only solution I have found is x=0.
I have tried proving it by congruences and have had no success. I don't know how to prove it. I have even tried algebraic manipulation and have got
x(x2+8x−6)=(y−2)(y2+2y+4)
Could you please give me some ideas on how to proceed?
Answer
Hint:
Show that for x large enough:
$$(x+2)^3
