number theory - Find all nonnegative integer solutions to x3+8x26x+8=y3.




Find all nonnegative integer solutions to x3+8x26x+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+8x6)=(y2)(y2+2y+4)



Could you please give me some ideas on how to proceed?


Answer



Hint:




Show that for x large enough:
$$(x+2)^3Then you are left with very few cases to check.
