Answer to Question #276264 in Discrete Mathematics for Joe

Question

List the quadruples in the relation { a,b,c,d} where a, b, c, d are integers with

0 < a < b < c < d < 8

Answer 1

A Pythagorean quadruple is a tuple of integers $a, b, c,$ and $d,$ such that $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2.$

$$1^2+2^2+3^2=14, No$$

$$1^2+2^2+4^2=21, No$$

$$1^2+2^2+5^2=30, No$$

$$1^2+2^2+6^2=41, No$$

$$1^2+3^2+4^2=26, No$$

$$1^2+3^2+5^2=35, No$$
