Plots of x^t + y^t = n^t (x, y, n are integers)

Happy Friday almost July 2013!

This is a series of plots of the following:

1. x^2 + y^2 = n^2
2. x^2 + y^2 = n^3
3. x^3 + y^3 = n^2
4. x^3 + y^2 = n^2
5. x^3 + y^2 = n^3

For x, y, and n all integers. Plots are pointed for combinations where the result, n, is an integer. The range tested is 0 ≤ x ≤ 200 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 200. I used the TI nSpire CX CAS iOS app.

How many points?

1. x^2 + y^2 = n^2, 703 points
2. x^2 + y^2 = n^3, 55 points
3. x^3 + y^3 = n^2, 97 points
4. x^3 + y^2 = n^2, 375 points
5. x^3 + y^2 = n^3, 213 points, mostly when y=0

Program Outline: (for plot 1, similar format for the rest)
Define test()
Prgm
xs:={ }
ys:={ }
For k,0,200
For l,0,200
If iPart(√(k^2+l^2))=0 Then
xs:=augment(xs,{k})
ys:=augment(ys,{l})
EndIf
EndFor
EndFor
EndPrgm


And now to the fun part... Enjoy!

That's it for now - as always thanks for your support and words of encouragement and your questions. :)

Integers: x^5 + y^5 = n^2, x^2 + y^2 = n^5, x^2 + y^3 = n^2 and x^3 + y^2 = n^3

Let x, y, and n be integers.

x^2 + y^2 = n^5

x and y tested: 1 ≤ x ≤ 30, 1 ≤ y ≤ 30

What I found: (there may be more outside the range I tested)
4^2 + 4^2 = 2^5
(Thank you Bill Zimmerly for pointing out my typo! (32 is not 5^3))

HP 32sii Program:

LBL E

x<>y

5
x√y
RTN




x^5 + y^5 = n^2

x and y tested: 1 ≤ x ≤ 30, 1 ≤ y ≤ 30

Again, I am looking for combinations where x, y, and n are all integers.

In the range tested I found:
2^5 + 2^5 = 8^2
8^5 + 8^5 = 256^2
18^5 + 18^5 = 1944^2

HP 32Sii Program:

The next program will cover two explorations. I will present the program first, then the equations.

RTN

I used this program for two tests. The area tested was 1 ≤ x ≤ 16 and 1 ≤ y ≤ 16. I am looking for combinations where x, y, and n are integers.

x^2 + y^3 = n^2

2^3 + 1^2 = 3^2
3^3 + 3^2 = 6^2
4^3 + 6^2 = 10^2
5^3 + 10^2 = 15^2
6^3 + 3^2 = 15^2
8^3 + 8^2 = 24^2
12^3 + 6^2 = 42^2
12^3 + 11^2 = 43^2
3^3 + 13^2 = 14^2
4^3 + 15^2 = 17^2
6^3 + 15^2 = 21^2
10^3 + 15^2 = 35^2
15^3 + 15^2 = 60^2

x^2 + y^3 = n^3

7^3 + 13^2 = 60^2




Happy June Solstice!

14^2 - 13^2 = 3^3
10^2 - 6^2 = 4^3

HP 35S: Sun Altitude, Azimuth, Solar Pond Absorption

HP 35S: Sun Altitude, Azimuth, Solar Pond Absorption

Source: Sun Altitude, Azimuth, Solar Pond Absorption, HP 67/97 Energy Conservation December 1978, Author: HP

Input:

This program asks for:

D = days after March 21 (later will be sun's declination : 23.45 sin (D * .9856°) )
L = latitude given in D.MMSS (degrees minutes seconds) format (avoid ±90°)
T = time before solar noon (12:00 PM), if the time is after noon, enter hours as a negative (example: 3:00 PM → -3)
N = index of refraction of surface/fluid (see below)


Index of Refraction for Common Objects:

Water: 1.33
Ice: 1.309
Glass: 1.52
Diamond: 2.42



Formulas: (Degrees Mode)

Sun Declination
D = 23.45 * sin( days after March 21 * .9856°)

Altitude of the Sun (H):
H = asin (cos L * cos D * cos (15 * T) + sin L * sin D)

Azimuth of the Sun (A): (degree from latitude ground wise north)
A = acos ( (sin H * sin L - sin D) ÷ (cos L * cos H) )

Fraction of the surface penetrated by the sun that hour (T):
T = 2 * n * (x^2 + y^2) * sin H * cos R
Where
R = asin (cos H ÷ n)
x = (cos R + n * sin H)^-1
y = (sin H + n * cos R)^-1

Example 1:

Input:
D = 68 (May 28), L = 46°, T = 4 (8:00 AM), N = 1.33 (water)

Output:
H (altitude) = 35.98991°
A (azimuth) = 84.40835°
F (fraction of coverage) = 0.95943

Example 2:

Input:
D = 90 (June 19), L = 23°, T = -3 (3:00 PM), N = 2.42 (diamond)

Output:
H = 48.81756°
A = 99.85903°
F = 0.82156

HP35S Fraunhofer Diffraction - Spherical

HP35S Fraunhofer Diffraction - Spherical
Source: HP 67/97 Optics Pac, June 1978

This version takes advantage of the HP's integral function. The trade off is that two labels are required. On the plus side, this program can be typed directly into a 32Sii or 33S.

Labels: F (Main), G (Integral)

Variables:

D = diameter in microns (10^-6 meters)
L = wavelength of light in microns (10^-6 meters)
A = θ, angle of the slit, entered in degrees

Formulas:

X = π D ÷ L
W = X sin A
J = int(cos(T - W sin T) dT, 0, π)/π
I = (X^2 J ÷ W)^2

Output:

Bessel function of the first kind (J) - paused for 2 seconds;
Fraunhofer Intensity (I) - dimensionless - as I understand it, this is how intense the diffraction is

HP 35S: Spherical Triangle

(First draft?)

Formulas:
sin A / sin a = sin B / sin b = sin C / sin c
cos A = - cos B cos C + sin B sin C cos a
cos a = cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A

A, B, C are angles formed by the great circles (the "lines" of the Spherical triangle). Note that A + B + C > 180°. a, b, and c measure the arc length of great circles as angles measured from the center of the sphere.

HP 35S: Planar Triangles

This program is set to solve common problems in plane (regular) triangles.

The programs can be adapted to any side lengths and angles necessary.

Variables of Plane Triangles

Side length a with corresponding angle A,
Side length b with corresponding angle B, and
Side length c with corresponding angle C.

Labels and Stack Set Up: HP 35S

Angle-Angle-Side, Label P001, Stack: B, A, b, Goal: a

Side-Side-Angle, Label P009, Stack: b, a, B, Goal: A

Angle-Side-Angle, Label P015, Stack: b, A, c, Goal: a

Side-Side-Side, Label P033, Stack: a, b, c, Goal: A (angle corresponding to first side length entered)

* If you use a 15C, 32Sii, or other another RPN calculator, you will need to create four labels. The nice thing with the HP 35S is that you can create multiple programs within in one label. Memory registers B and C are temporary.
