COMMENTS

Triads a = 3 b = 4 c = 5 and a = 4 b = 3 c = 5 provide different results for (x,y).

EXAMPLE

First primitive Pythagorean triad: 3, 4, 5

Weierstrass equation. y^2 = x*( 3^2 -x)*( 4^2 + x)

Unique integer solution (x,y) = (4,20)

First element in the sequence = 1

Fifth primitive Pythagorean triad: 8, 15, 17

Integer solutions (x,y) = (15, 420) and (30, 510)

Fifth element in the sequence = 2

MAPLE

# a, b, c primitive Pythagorean triad n_sol:=0; for x from 1 by 1 to a^2 do y2:= x*( a^2 - x)*( x+ b^2); if ((floor(sqrt(y2)))^2=y2) n_sol:=n_sol+1; fi; print(n_sol) ; od;
