Abstract:
The diophantine equation is a polynomial equation with two or more unknowns for which only integral solutions are sought. This paper concentrates on finding the integral solutions to the Diophantine equation \(5^x+p^mn^y=z^2\) where \(p>5\) a prime number and \(y=1,2\). The positive integral solutions to the equation are \((x,m,n,y,z)=(2r,t,p^tk^2\pm2k5^r,1,p^tk\pm5^r)\) and \(\left ( 2r,2t,\frac{5^{2r-\alpha}-5^\alpha}{2p^t},2,\frac{5^{2r-\alpha}+5^\alpha}{2} \right )\) for \(k,r,t \in \mathbb{N}\) where \(0\leq \alpha< r\).
