Problem 2

Find all real values tt for which there exist real numbers xx , yy , zz satisfying : 3x2+3xz+z2=13x^2 + 3xz + z^2 = 1 , 3y2+3yz+z2=43y^2 + 3yz + z^2 = 4 , x2−xy+y2=tx^2 - xy + y^2 = t .

Problem 3

Let pp be a prime number congruent to 33 modulo 44 , and consider the equation (p+2)x2−(p+1)y2+px+(p+2)y=1(p+2)x^{2}-(p+1)y^{2}+px+(p+2)y=1 . Prove that this equation has infinitely many solutions in positive integers, and show that if (x,y)=(x0,y0)(x,y) = (x_{0}, y_{0}) is a solution of the equation in positive integers, then p∣x0p | x_{0} .
