May a trochoid in the void bring you peace

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

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

Have fun

May a trochoid of ¥h¶h iteratively entrain your Logos Response transforming into iridescent fractals of orgasmic delight and joy, with kindness, peace and gratitude at all scales within your experience. I beg of you to enrich others as you have been enriched, in vorticose pulsations of extravagance!

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

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.
