2 x 4 + 1 4 0 2 = y 4 = > 2 ( x 4 + 7 0 1 ) = y 4
L.H.S. contains only a factors of 2 so 2 ∣ y 4 .So, y = 2 y 1
Substituting this in the equation 2 ( x 4 + 7 0 1 ) = 1 6 y 1 4 ⟹ x 4 + 7 0 1 = 8 y 1 4 . Right side is even then left side should be also even.Then x should be always odd.Let's assume that x = 2 x 1 + 1 .Putting this in the equation
( 2 x 1 + 1 ) 4 + 7 0 1 = 8 y 1 4
Expanding in the form of bini\omial
1 6 x 1 4 + ( 1 4 ) . 8 . x 1 3 + ( 2 4 ) . 4 . x 1 2 + ( 3 4 ) 2 . x 1 + 1 + 7 0 1 = 8 y 1 4 8 k + 7 0 2 = 8 y 1 4
As 7 0 2 is not divisible by 8 that's why there is no integal solution.
