Find all intergers such that 2n2+1 divides n3+9n−17.
Answer : n=(2 and 5)
I did it.
As 2n2+1 divides n3+9n−17, then 2n2+1≤n3+9n−17⟹n≥2
So n=2 is solution and doens't exist solution when n<2. How can I do now to find 5 ? Or better, how can you solve this with another good method ?
Thanks
Answer
HINT:
If integer d divides n3+9n−17,2n2+1
d must divide 2(n3+9n−17)−n(2n2+1)=17n−34
d must divide 17(2n2+1)−2n(17n−34)=68n+17
d must divide 68n+17−4(17n−34)=153
So the necessary condition is 2n2+1 must divide 153
$\implies2n^2+1\le153\iff n^2\le76\iff-9
