can you prove that no 3 positive integers of a, b, and c can satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n?

OpenStudy (chriss):

This is only true for n>2. a^2+b^2=c^2 is the Pythagorean Theorem. with n>2 it falls into Fermat's Last Theorem. There is a proof of that, but it is pretty lengthy and I don't know the details of it.
