# --description--
|
||
|
||
For any integer $n$, consider the three functions
|
||
|
||
$$\begin{align}
|
||
& f_{1,n}(x,y,z) = x^{n + 1} + y^{n + 1} − z^{n + 1}\\\\
|
||
& f_{2,n}(x,y,z) = (xy + yz + zx) \times (x^{n - 1} + y^{n - 1} − z^{n - 1})\\\\
|
||
& f_{3,n}(x,y,z) = xyz \times (x^{n - 2} + y^{n - 2} − z^{n - 2})
|
||
\end{align}$$
|
||
|
||
and their combination
|
||
|
||
$$\begin{align}
|
||
& f_n(x,y,z) = f_{1,n}(x,y,z) + f_{2,n}(x,y,z) − f_{3,n}(x,y,z)
|
||
\end{align}$$
|
||
|
||
We call $(x,y,z)$ a golden triple of order $k$ if $x$, $y$, and $z$ are all rational numbers of the form $\frac{a}{b}$ with $0 < a < b ≤ k$ and there is (at least) one integer $n$, so that $f_n(x,y,z) = 0$.
|
||
|
||
Let $s(x,y,z) = x + y + z$.
|
||
|
||
Let $t = \frac{u}{v}$ 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 $u + v$.

`rationalZeros()` should return `285196020571078980`.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(rationalZeros(), 285196020571078980);
|
||
```
