    Thats one of the equations thats accually useful in real life on a regular basis, Pythagorean Theorem. When finding an unknown side of a right triangle you use the formula A2 + B2 = C2 (2 = squared .. dont know how to do that on the forums). In this case it was 9 + 16 = 25, square root of 25 being 5.

    Now do me a quick favor and prove that a**n + b**n != c**n for n > 2

    (that's a to the n plus b to the n is not equal to c to the n)

    Thanks!

    There is no constant.

    what does that have to do with aa + bb = cc? what does that prove?
