Title: de Fermat's last theorem
Post by: jehovajah on February 11, 2011, 10:55:54 AM

$x^n+y^n \neq z^n$

Reduces to $\frac{x^n}{ z^n}$ + $\frac{y^n}{ z^n}$ $\neq$ $1^n$ in the unit circle.

This is the same as $cos^n\theta +sin^n\theta\neq 1^n$

Which can be written as $cos^n\theta +sin^n\theta\neq (cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta)^n$

Which by de Moivre reduces to $cos^n\theta +sin^n\theta\neq (cos n\theta +i*sin n\theta)(cos n\theta - i*sin n\theta)$

You can explore these relations graphically here (http://www.flashandmath.com/mathlets/calc/param2d/param_advanced.html).

Post what you find out, think, render, or create.

Have fun :banana: :chilli:

Which can be written as $cos^n\theta +sin^n\theta\neq (cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta)^n$

Which can be expressed $(e^{i\theta}-isin\theta)^n +(-ie^{i\theta}+icos\theta)^n\neq (e^{in\theta})(e^{-in\theta})$
which can be arranged as

$(e^{i\theta}-isin\theta)^n +i^n(cos\theta-e^{i\theta})^n\neq (e^{in\theta})(e^{-in\theta})$

$(e^{i\theta}-isin\theta)^n +i^n(cos\theta+e^{-i\theta})^n\neq (e^{in\theta})(e^{-in\theta})$

You can explore these relations graphically using any fractalgenerator.

Indulge me, someone?

I think I have made a mistake in one of the conversions.

Anyone care to find it? :embarrass:

z = x + y

Can be understood as z is a binomial form.
Then zⁿ can be expanded by the binomial theorem.

We find then that zⁿ can never equal xⁿ + yⁿ.

However we do have a special case, proved by Pythagoras

z² = x² + y² + 2xy by the binomial expansion
= c² + 2xy by the Pythagoras theorem , using the proof of embedding in a larger square.

What this means is, by Pythagoras we can always find some c² that sums the 2 squares . We have no such identity for n>2.
