How many ordered pairs of integers $(m, n)$ satisfy $\sqrt{n^2 - 49} = m$?
有几个整数有序对 $(m, n)$ 满足 $\sqrt{n^2 - 49} = m$?
(A) 1 1
(B) 2 2
(C) 3 3
(D) 4 4
(E) \text{infinitely many} \text{infinitely many}
Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Note that $m$ is a nonnegative integer. We square, rearrange, and apply the difference of squares formula to the given equation: \[(n+m)(n-m)=49.\] It is clear that $n+m\geq n-m,$ so $(n+m,n-m)=(49,1),(7,7),(-7,-7),(-1,-49).$ Each ordered pair $(n+m,n-m)$ gives one ordered pair $(m,n),$ so there are $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}~4}$
注意 $m$ 是非负整数。 我们对给定的方程平方、重排,并应用平方差公式: \[(n+m)(n-m)=49.\] 显然 $n+m\geq n-m$,因此 $(n+m,n-m)=(49,1),(7,7),(-7,-7),(-1,-49)$。每个有序对 $(n+m,n-m)$ 对应一个有序对 $(m,n)$,因此有 $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}~4}$。
