For the eqn. [math] ab + c = t [/math] where [math]a,b,c[/math] are three consecutive numbers. show that [math] t [/math] will never be a perfect power? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajesh Bhowmick ( talk • contribs) 03:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
4. Discussion forums. Please try to stay on the task of creating an encyclopedia. You can chat with people about Wikipedia-related topics on their user talk pages, and should resolve problems with articles on the relevant talk pages, but please do not take discussion into articles. In addition, bear in mind that article talk pages exist solely to discuss how to improve articles; they are not for general discussion about the subject of the article, nor are they a help desk for obtaining instructions or technical assistance. Material unsuitable for talk pages may be subject to removal per the talk page guidelines. If you wish to ask a specific question on a topic, Wikipedia has a Reference desk; questions should be asked there rather than on talk pages.
While I was pushing my bike across a sandy beach, it occurred to me that if I pushed it around in a circle, the front and back wheels would describe concentric circles. Is there any other case, other than the trivial one of the straight line, where the front and back wheel tracks would be the "same type of curve", by which I suppose I mean the same curve scaled, or shifted, or rotated, or any other sensible interpretation of "same type" that would yield an interesting solution. Pushing the bike in a sine-wavy path produces two sine-wavy tracks, but if the front track is exactly a sine wave then it seems to me that the back one isn't exactly. 2A00:23C8:7B08:6A00:1D58:69CA:8C26:5FEC ( talk) 21:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
