Solution:
Let x+y=s, xy=p with s∈Z∗ and p∈Z. The given equation can be written in the form
s2(s2−2p)=20092
or
s2−2p=(s2009)2
So, s divides 2009=72×41 and it follows that p=0.
If p>0, then 20092=s2(s2−2p)=s4−2ps2<s4. We obtain that s divides 2009 and ∣s∣≥49. Thus, s∈{±49,±287,±2009}.
- For s=±49, we have p=360, and (x,y)={(40,9),(9,40),(−40,−9),(−9,−40)}.
- For s∈{±287,±2009} the equation has no integer solutions.
If p<0, then 20092=s4−2ps2>s4. We obtain that s divides 2009 and ∣s∣≤41. Thus, s∈{±1,±7,±41}. For these values of s the equation has no integer solutions.
So, the given equation has only the solutions (40,9),(9,40),(−40,−9),(−9,−40).
