Hint for 1st sum : Graphs.
Hint for 2nd sum : take x=2ab.
Hint for 3rd sum : (x-1)(2y-1)=1

Can you please Elaborate the second one.. Please!Please!

Set x=2^a.b, so that the eqn at hand becomes (b-4)(b-5)=2^k.

Set (b-4)=c, so the eqn further becomes c^2-c-2^k=0.

Observe that c and (c-1) are co-prime, and their product is a kth power, so they must themselves be kth powers.

c(c-1)=m^k.n^k=(mn)^k=2^k.....From which it follows, c=2.

The remaining part, hopefully, can be completed.

Complete the part, when both m and n are negative integers.

You will land up with 2 integral solutions (12,3) and (6,3). Thus p=2.

B) Aliter:

We must have x-8 = 2^a; x-10 = 2^b or x-8 = -2^a; x-10 = -2^b

Taking the first set of equations, we obtain 2^a-2^b = 2

The only solution is a =2, b=1. Hence x =12, y=3

Taking the second set, we similarly obtain x=6, y=3

C) Aliter: Let 2y=z. Then x+z=xz. Its easy to see that we must have x|z and z|x. So x=±z.

Since z is even, the only solution is (0,0)

THanks all! Wish I could do such sums mere by observation some day! :)

By the way, Are we assuming a and b arbitrarily?
