0:00.0

Consider the quadratic Diophantine equation x2−6xy+y2=1x^2 - 6xy + y^2 = 1x2−6xy+y2=1. Which statement best describes the solution set?

(A) The equation has no integer solutions except (±1,0)(\pm 1, 0)(±1,0) and (0,±1)(0, \pm 1)(0,±1).

(B) The equation has infinitely many integer solutions that can be generated from a finite set of fundamental solutions.

(C) The equation has exactly four solutions: (1,0),(−1,0),(0,1),(0,−1)(1, 0), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (0, -1)(1,0),(−1,0),(0,1),(0,−1).

(D) The equation is equivalent to a Pell equation and has a single fundamental solution generating all others.
