title: 'Problem 180: Rational zeros of a function of three variables'
forumTopicId: 301816
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
For any integer n, consider the three functions
f1,n(x,y,z) = xn+1 + yn+1 zn+1f2,n(x,y,z) = (xy + yz + zx)*(xn-1 + yn-1 zn-1)f3,n(x,y,z) = xyz*(xn-2 + yn-2 zn-2)
and their combination
fn(x,y,z) = f1,n(x,y,z) + f2,n(x,y,z) f3,n(x,y,z)
We call (x,y,z) a golden triple of order k if x, y, and z are all rational numbers of the form a / b with
0 < a < b k and there is (at least) one integer n, so that fn(x,y,z) = 0.
Let s(x,y,z) = x + y + z.
Let t = u / v be the sum of all distinct s(x,y,z) for all golden triples (x,y,z) of order 35. All the s(x,y,z) and t must be in reduced form.
Find u + v.
