The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( a^4 + b^4 = (a + b)^4 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the given equation: \[ a^4 + b^4 = (a + b)^4 \] ### Step 2: Divide both sides by \( a^4 \) Assuming \( a \neq 0 \) (as given), we can divide both sides by \( a^4 \): \[ \frac{a^4 + b^4}{a^4} = \frac{(a + b)^4}{a^4} \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 + \left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^4 = \left(1 + \frac{b}{a}\right)^4 \] ### Step 3: Let \( x = \frac{b}{a} \) Let \( x = \frac{b}{a} \). Then we can rewrite the equation as: \[ 1 + x^4 = (1 + x)^4 \] ### Step 4: Expand the right-hand side using the binomial theorem Using the binomial theorem, we expand \( (1 + x)^4 \): \[ (1 + x)^4 = 1 + 4x + 6x^2 + 4x^3 + x^4 \] Thus, we have: \[ 1 + x^4 = 1 + 4x + 6x^2 + 4x^3 + x^4 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Subtract \( 1 + x^4 \) from both sides: \[ 0 = 4x + 6x^2 + 4x^3 \] ### Step 6: Factor out common terms We can factor out \( 2x \): \[ 0 = 2x(2 + 3x + 2x^2) \] ### Step 7: Set each factor to zero This gives us two cases: 1. \( 2x = 0 \) which implies \( x = 0 \) (or \( b = 0 \)) 2. \( 2 + 3x + 2x^2 = 0 \) ### Step 8: Analyze the first case The first case \( x = 0 \) implies \( b = 0 \), which contradicts the condition \( b \neq 0 \). ### Step 9: Analyze the second case Now, we solve the quadratic equation: \[ 2x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0 \] Using the discriminant: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 9 - 16 = -7 \] Since the discriminant is negative, this quadratic equation has no real roots. ### Conclusion Since both cases lead to no valid solutions, we conclude that there are no real number pairs \( (a, b) \) that satisfy the equation \( a^4 + b^4 = (a + b)^4 \). Thus, the number of real number pairs \( (a, b) \) that satisfy the equation is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
