The correct Answer is:
To find the total number of integer solutions to the equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 2015 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the form of the equation The equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 2015 \) suggests that we are looking for pairs of integers \( (x, y) \) such that their squares sum to 2015. ### Step 2: Check the modulo condition We can analyze the equation modulo 4. The possible values of \( x^2 \) and \( y^2 \) modulo 4 are: - \( 0 \) if \( x \) or \( y \) is even, - \( 1 \) if \( x \) or \( y \) is odd. Thus, the possible sums \( x^2 + y^2 \) modulo 4 can be: - \( 0 + 0 = 0 \) - \( 0 + 1 = 1 \) - \( 1 + 0 = 1 \) - \( 1 + 1 = 2 \) Now, we compute \( 2015 \mod 4 \): \[ 2015 \div 4 = 503 \quad \text{(remainder 3)} \] So, \( 2015 \equiv 3 \mod 4 \). ### Step 3: Analyze the implications Since \( x^2 + y^2 \) can only yield results of \( 0, 1, \) or \( 2 \) modulo 4, it is impossible for \( x^2 + y^2 \) to be congruent to \( 3 \mod 4 \). Therefore, there cannot be any integer solutions to the equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 2015 \). ### Conclusion Thus, the total number of integer solutions to the equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 2015 \) is **0**. ---
