Problem
For integers and consider the complex number
Find the number of ordered pairs of integers such that this complex number is a real number.
Solution
We consider two cases:
Case 1: In this case, if then and . Thus so . Thus , yielding values. However since , we have . Thus there are allowed tuples in this case.
Case 2: . In this case, we want Squaring, we have the equations (which always holds in this case) and
