find four positive integers a,b,c,d whose 5th powers sum to the 5th power of another integer e, i.e. find five integers a,b,c,d,e such that a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5=e^5.
I am working on Sage Math online , on Windows 10
In 1769, Lenhard Euler conjectured that at least n nth powers are required to obtain a sum that is itself an nth power for n>2. Disprove Euler's conjecture by writing an appropriate function and using it to find four positive integers a,b,c,d whose 5th powers sum to the 5th power of another integer e, i.e. find five integers a,b,c,d,e such that a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5=e^5.
I have tried this, but it seems like not given me what I wanted it. By the way, I am not allow to use "IF" Statement at all.
def calculateValues():
sumoffourvalues = 0
for i in range(2,6):
#display each valueS
print (i)
#calculate each value its power
eachpower = pow(i,5)
#sum of power values of four elements
sumoffourvalues = sumoffourvalues + eachpower
print ("power of sumofforvalues",sumoffourvalues)
#calculating power of fifth element
fifthelementvalue = pow(6,5)
print ("power of fifthelementvalue ",fifthelementvalue)
#Consider like below this way
#a5+b5+c5+d5−e5=0
resultantvalue = sumoffourvalues -fifthelementvalue
print("resultant value is ",resultantvalue)
calculateValues()
Suggestions. Find a shorter title, maybe "Need help with fifth powers exercise". Format LaTeX code using dollar signs. Format code by indenting it four spaces (and don't skip lines); or select your block of code and click the "code" button (the one with '101 010').
