1 On ternary quadratic equation 6(x 2 + y 2 ) 11xy = 23z 2 R.Nandhini Assistant Professor and Head Dept of Mathematics Bharathidasan University Model College, Thiruthuraipoondi ABSTRACT The ternary homogeneous quadratic equation given by 6(x 2 + y 2 ) 11xy = 23z 2 representing a cone is analyzed for finding its nonzero distinct integral solutions. A few interesting relations and special polygonal and pyramidal numbers are presented. Keywords: Ternary quadratic, integer solutions, homogeneous polygonal number, pyramidal number. Notations used Introduction 1.t m,n - Polygonal number of rank n with size m. 2.P n m - Pyramidal number of rank n with size m. 3.ct m,n Centered polygonal number of n with size m. 4.Pr n Pronic number of rank n. 5.Pt n Pentatope number of rank n. 6.obl n oblong number of rank n. 7.Sqp n Square pyramidal number of rank n. 8.S n Star number of rank n. 9.Gno n gnomic number of rank n. The Diophantine equation offers an unlimited field for research due to their variety [1-5]. In Particular, one may refer [6-20] for quadratic equations with three unknowns. This communication concerns with yet another interesting equation 6(x 2 + y 2 ) 11xy = 23z 2 representing homogeneous cubic equation with three unknowns for determining its infinitely many non-zero integral solutions. Also a few interesting relations among the solutions are presented. 142

2 Method of Analysis The Ternary quadratic diophantine equation representing a cone under consideration is 6(x 2 + y 2 ) 11xy = 23z 2 (1) The substitution of the linear transformations x = u + v, y = u v (2) in (1) gives u v 2 = 23z 2 (3) Now (3) is solved through different choices and thus different patterns of solutions to (1) are obtained. Pattern I Write (3) as u 2 = 23 (z 2 v 2 ) = 23 [(z + v)(z - v)] (4) Choice (i) (4) is written in the form of ratio as 0 (5) This is equivalent to the following two equations Bu Av Az =0 -Au -23Bv + 23Bz =0 (6) Applying the method of cross multiplication, the above system of equation is satisfied by v = A 2 23B 2 z = A B 2 (7) x = A 2-46AB 23B 2 y = 23B 2 46AB A 2 (8) Thus (7) and (8) represent non zero distinct integral solutions of (1) in two parameters. 1. y(1,b) t 62,B + t 16,B -1 (mod 23) 2. y(2,b) + 2z(2,B) t 152,B + t 14,B 4(mod 23) 3. 2x(A,1) + z(a,1) t 12,A + t 6,A -23 (mod 89) 4. y(a,a +1) + z(a,a + 1) t 102,A + t 10,A + 46 obl A 46 (mod 138) 5. 3 x[a (A + 1), A + 2] + y [A (A + 1), A + 2] = -552P A Choice (ii) 143

3 (4) is written in the form of ratio as (9) Bu + Av Az =0 Au 23Bv 23Bz=0 (10) By the method of cross multiplication, the above system of equation is satisfied by v = 23B 2 A 2 z = -A 2-23B 2 (11) Substituting the values of u and v in (2) we get x= 23B 2 46 AB A 2 y = -23B 2-46 AB + A 2 (12) Thus (11) and (12) represent non zero distinct integral solutions of (1) in two parameters. 1. y(a,2) t 16,A + t 14,A -1 (mod 91) 2. x(1,b) z(1,b) + t 82,B - s B -1 (mod 1) 3. x[a,(a + 1)(2A + 1)] + z[a,(a + 1)(2A + 1)] + t 20,A - t 16,A Sqp A 0 (mod 2) 4. y[b + 1, B] 2x [B +1, B] 46 Pr B + s B + t 122, B 2 (mod 59) 5. 2x(2,B) + y(2,b) t 56,B + t 10,B -4 (mod 253) Choice (iii) Also (4) is written in the form of ratio as Bu + 23Av 23 Az =0 (13) Au Bv Bz=0 (14) Applying the method of cross multiplication, the above system of equation is satisfied by v = B 2 23 A 2 z = -23A 2 - B 2 (15) x = B 2 23 A 2 46AB y = -23A 2 - B 2-46AB (16) Thus (15) and (16) represent non zero distinct integral solutions of (1) in two parameters. 144

Pattern -II :- 1. x[a,(a+1) (A+2)] 2[A, (A+1) (A+2)] t 86,A + t 10,A 276P 3 A 0 (mod 41) 2. x(a,a+1) y(a,a+1) t 70,A + t 22,A 2 (mod 38) 3. z(a,a+1) t 44,A t 8,A 1 (mod 24) 4. z(b,b+1) y(b,b+1) t 16,B + t 12,B Gno B + 46Obl B 3 (mod 4) 5. x[a(a+1), (A+2)(A+3)] + y[a(a+1), (A+2)(A+3)] = 2208Pt A Assume z = A B 2 (21) Write 23 as 23 = (i 23) (-i 23) (22) Substituting (21) and (22) in (3) (u+i 23v) (u-i 23v) = (i 23) (-i 23)(A 2 +23B 2 ) 2 = (i 23) (-i 23)[(A+i 23B) (A-i 23B)] 2 (23) Equating the positive or negative roots u+i 23v = i 23 (A+i 23B) 2 (24) Equating real and imaginary parts in (24), we get v = A 2 23B 2 (25) z = A B 2 x= A 2 23B 2 46AB (26) y= 23B 2 - A 2 46AB Thus (25) and (26) represent non-zero distinct integral solutions of (1) in two parameters. 145
