x...I tried a little bit and came up with this.<br /><br />(1)<br />x³+y³+z³ = (x²+y²+z²) - (xy+xz+yz)*(x+y+z) + 3xyz<br />c = b*a - (xy+xz+yz)*a + 3xyz<br />substituting: (xy+xz+yz) = (a² - b) / 2<br /><br />we get a formula xyz = ... only a,b,c<br /><br />(2)<br />(y+z)² = (a-x)²<br />y² + 2yz + z² = (a-x)²<br />b - x² + 2yz = (a-x)²<br /><br />now substitute yz with (1) to get a term of the form 1/x. This will lead to a polynomial with x of third degree in terms of a,b,c.<br /><br />(4)<br />--> we have at least one real solution and at most 3<br />--> use the discriminant to show that 3 solution is not possible.

I don't know what to suggest next.<br /><br />On the Other Side of Things, the mod k classes of the e_j for j < k, with the kth power sum do not determine the mod k class of e_k; so any argument that works for the finite rings will have to mention large primes.Belfry Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514867101036143597noreply@blogger.com
