hehe, wanna see that math screw up?

 

Assume A and B are both 1 ...

 

1^2=1

 

so 1+1=1, thus a=1 b=1 c=1

but that is NOT a right angle triangle.

:shrug: Just because you assign A and B to one does not mean that C would be one as well. For a right triangle with both legs A and B equal to one the hypotenuse would equal the square root of 2. Math doesn't screw up.....

Channeling the spirit of Orby?
Seagram's Five Star Whisky was produced by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Waterloo. There is a discrepancy as to when the product originated. In 1960, it was pre-tested as "Five Star Special". In 1961, it was labelled "Five Star Special" and in 1962 the named changed to "Five Star". It was successful very quickly, and was the first brand in Canada to reach 1,000,000 cases in 1974. Features of the package included a star with a "5" on it. It is a four year old blended whisky (the extra star designates extra quality). In 1975, they changed to a five-year-old whisky. This was the first brand to ever be pre-tested by consumers across Canada under the supervision of a leading research organization before it was marketed for sales. - source

That would be "no" then.

[math]3472073^7 + 4627011^7 = 4710868^7[/math]

 

5.14880622379082621171 x 10^46

 

How's that?

Goodness, Unc, you should know better than that!

damn, ok so no more playing with numbers while my body is full of recreational chemicals. :hihi:

This is a perfect quote for the thread on how MJ or other chemicals work in your body and on your brain. I don't suppose you think you can go jump in a car and drive too do you?

 

Anyway, but off the subject.

 

Fermat's last theorem, sounds like it has been discussed here before.

5.14880622379082621171 x 10^46 either way

 

That is correct as stated. I didn't say Fermat's Last Theorem didn't win in the next decimal place,

Faith has no place in science. When an impossible result appears, start from scratch and trace down the error. An unfortunate number of Hypography posts state the obviously impossible, then insist science is wrong. It doesn't work that way. Unless the poster can identify a sour founding postulate or falsifying empirical evidence, the poster is trivially wrong without further argument. Science is 100% internally self-consistent.

 

Don't invest in anything that violates conservation laws or thermodynamics. Euclid was globally wrong (e.g., hyperbolic and elliptic geometries, then Thurston), but is still OK locally. His Fifth (Parallel) Postulate is weak. Science has many possibly weak postulates. One need only demonstrate a reproducible counterexample.

True cwes99_03, but also I preffered numbers up to hundred or maybe thousand and not more.....

 

So,: 3,4,5;7,24,25;24,70,74;.....

Missed any?

These are all the unique integer right tiriangles up to a=100. None of these are bigger versions of another triangle (like 6,8,10). We studied these here as PIRT (Perfect Integer Right Triangles) but they are also know as Primitive Right Triangles.

Unc, you wrote a plain '=' sign and did not give a range, therefore it was not "correct as stated". This thread started with a question, it is not a strange claim, so instead of cluttering it up with off-topic junk, why don't you go back to your freshman calculus courses?

Seeing as things are getting so agro, I thought I might join in the fireworks.

 

Technically speaking, no 3,4,5 triangle (or other entirely whole number sided triangles) actually exist. We are living in a 4 dimensional universe in curved space time and the angles of triangles do not add up to exactly 180 degrees and therefore, a triangle of length 3 cm and 4cm will not have a hypotonuse of exactly 5 cm. If we were living in a flat 4 dimensional universe, or even a 3 dimensional universe, maybe it would, but we are not.

 

Don't believe me? Try building a right angled triangle of length 30000 Km by 40000km by 50000 km and you will see that the edges will not fit absolutely perfectly.

If you read a bit of Buckminster Fuller's geometry in Synergetics you will see it is you who is 180 out of phase as no lines exist save straight lines.:confused:
