By observation, we see that neither ( 0 ; 0 ) (0;0) , ( 0 ; a ) (0;a) or ( b ; 0 ) (b;0) are solutions to this problem ( a a and b b are reals) so now we set y = k x ( k R ) y=kx \ (k\in R) , the system'll become { 2 ( x 3 3 x ) = k 3 x 3 + 3 k x 2 ( x 2 1 ) = 5 k 2 x 2 + 1 \begin{cases} 2(x^3-3x)=k^3x^3+3kx \\ 2(x^2-1)=5k^2x^2+1\end{cases} { x 2 = 3 ( 2 + k ) 2 k 3 x 2 = 3 2 5 k 2 \Leftrightarrow\begin{cases} x^2=\frac{3(2+k)}{2-k^3} \\ x^2=\frac{3}{2-5k^2}\end{cases} { 2 + k 2 k 3 = 1 2 5 k 2 x 2 = 3 2 5 k 2 \Leftrightarrow\begin{cases} \frac{2+k}{2-k^3}=\frac{1}{2-5k^2} \\ x^2=\frac{3}{2-5k^2}\end{cases} { 2 k 3 + 5 k 2 k 1 = 0 x 2 = 3 2 5 k 2 \Leftrightarrow\begin{cases} 2k^3+5k^2-k-1=0 \\ x^2=\frac{3}{2-5k^2}\end{cases} From the first equation we get k = { 1 2 ; 3 + 5 2 ; 3 5 2 } k=\big\{\frac{1}{2};\frac{-3+\sqrt{5}}{2};\frac{-3-\sqrt{5}}{2}\big\} . Therefore

* k = 1 2 k=\frac{1}{2} we have two solutions ( x ; y ) = ( 2 ; 1 ) , ( 2 ; 1 ) (x;y)=(2;1),(-2;-1)

* k = 3 + 5 2 k=\frac{-3+\sqrt{5}}{2} we have two solutions ( x ; y ) = ( 3 2 5 k 2 ; k 3 2 5 k 2 ) , ( 3 2 5 k 2 ; k 3 2 5 k 2 ) (x;y)=\bigg(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}};k\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}}\bigg),\bigg(-\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}};-k\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}}\bigg)

* k = 3 5 2 k=\frac{-3-\sqrt{5}}{2} we have no solution

So m = 1 n x m y m = 2.1. ( 2 ) . ( 1 ) . k 3 2 5 k 2 . ( 3 2 5 k 2 ) . ( k 3 2 5 k 2 ) 3.25 ( k = 3 + 5 2 ) \displaystyle \prod_{m=1}^n x_m y_m =2.1.(-2).(-1).k\frac{3}{2-5k^2}.\bigg(-\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}}\bigg).\bigg(-k\sqrt{\frac{3}{2-5k^2}}\bigg)\approx 3.25 \ \big(k=\frac{-3+\sqrt{5}}{2}\big)
