In summary, expressing A and B in q and r involves finding a mathematical relationship between two variables and representing them in terms of two other variables. The values of q and r can be determined by solving this relationship, and the purpose is to provide a simplified and easily interpretable representation for comparison and analysis. However, there may be limitations in certain cases and this method may not be applicable to all types of data.

A - B - q^n + r^n = 0, (A, B) co prime, A odd, B even, n odd, gcd (A / q, q) = 1, gcd (B / r, r) = 1

Problem
A - B - q^n + r^n = 0,
(A, B) co prime,
A odd,
B even,
n odd,
gcd (A / q, q) = 1,
gcd (B / r, r) = 1.

I'm not sure about a total set of solutions, but ##n=1##, ##A=q## and ##B=r## is one solution.

It's not explicitly stated, but since ##A##is divisible by ##q## and ##B## is divisible by ##r##, ##q## and ##r## are coprime as well.

1. How do you express A and B in q and r?

In order to express A and B in terms of q and r, you can use the following formula:

A = q + r and B = q - r

2. What are q and r in this expression?

Q and r are variables used to represent different quantities or values in the expression. They can stand for any number or value that is being expressed.

3. Can q and r be any number?

Yes, q and r can be any number. They are variables that can take on any value in order to express A and B.

4. How do you solve for q and r in this expression?

In order to solve for q and r, you will need to have additional information or equations that relate to these variables. Without more information, it is not possible to solve for q and r.
