linear formulas for Pythagorean triples


It is easy to see that the equation

a2+b2=c2(1)

of the Pythagorean theoremMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/PythagorasTheorem) isequivalentMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/Equivalent3) with

(a+b-c)2= 2(c-a)(c-b).(2)

When  (a,b,c)  is a Pythagorean tripleMathworldPlanetmath, i.e. a, b, care positive integers, a+b-c must be an even positiveinteger which we denote by 2r.  We get from (2) the equation

(c-a)(c-b)= 2r2,

whose factors (http://planetmath.org/ProductPlanetmathPlanetmath) on the left hand side we denoteby t and s.  Thus we have the linear equation system

{a+b-c= 2r,c-a=t,c-b=s.

Its solution is

{a= 2r+s,b= 2r+t,c= 2r+s+t.(3)

Here, r is an arbitrary positive integer, s and t are twopositive integers whose product is 2r2.  It’s clear that then(3) produces all Pythagorean triples.
