Abstract: The binary quadratic equation represented by the positive Pellian y  35 x  14 is analyzed for its distinct integer
solutions. A few interesting relations among the solutions are given. Further, employing the solutions of the above hyperbola, we
have obtained solutions of other choices of hyperbola and parabola.

I. INTRODUCTION
2 2
A binary quadratic equation of the form y  Dx  1 where D is non-square positive integer has been studied by various
mathematicians for its non-trivial integral solutions when D takes different integral values [1-2]. For an extensive review of various
2 2
problems, one may refer [3-12]. In this communication, yet another interesting hyperbola given by y  35 x  14 is considered
and infinitely many integer solutions are obtained. A few interesting properties among the solutions are obtained.

A. Method of Analysis
The Positive Pell equation representing hyperbola under consideration is
y 2  35 x 2  14 (1)
whose smallest positive integer solution is
x0  1 , y0  7
To obtain the other solutions of (1), consider the Pell equation
y 2  35 x 2  1
whose general solution is given by
~ 1 1
xn  gn , ~
yn  f n
2 35 2
where


f n  6  35 n 1

 6  35 n 1

 6  35   6  35 
n 1 n 1
gn , n  1, 0 ,1 , 2......
Applying Brahmagupta lemma between x0 , y0  and ~
xn , ~yn  , the other integer solutions of (1) are given by
1 7
x n 1  fn  gn
2 2 35
7 35
y n 1  fn  gn
2 2
The recurrence relations satisfied by x and y are given by
xn3  12xn 2  xn1  0
y n 3  12 y n 2  y n 1  0
Some numerical examples of x and y satisfying (1) are given in the Table: 1 below:
