To find the integer solutions for the equation \( x^3 + y^5 = 40 \), where \( x \) and \( y \) are integers, we can start by testing various values for \( y \) and calculating the corresponding \( x \).
-
For \( y = 0 \): \[ x^3 + 0^5 = 40 \implies x^3 = 40 \implies x \approx 3.4 \quad \text{(no integer solution)} \]
-
For \( y = 1 \): \[ x^3 + 1^5 = 40 \implies x^3 + 1 = 40 \implies x^3 = 39 \implies x \approx 3.4 \quad \text{(no integer solution)} \]
-
For \( y = 2 \): \[ x^3 + 2^5 = 40 \implies x^3 + 32 = 40 \implies x^3 = 8 \implies x = 2 \quad \text{(solution: } (2, 2) \text{)} \]
-
For \( y = 3 \): \[ x^3 + 3^5 = 40 \implies x^3 + 243 = 40 \implies x^3 = -203 \quad \text{(no integer solution)} \]
-
For \( y = -1 \): \[ x^3 + (-1)^5 = 40 \implies x^3 - 1 = 40 \implies x^3 = 41 \implies x \approx 3.4 \quad \text{(no integer solution)} \]
-
For \( y = -2 \): \[ x^3 + (-2)^5 = 40 \implies x^3 - 32 = 40 \implies x^3 = 72 \implies x \approx 4.16 \quad \text{(no integer solution)} \]
Continuing similarly for negative values of \( y \) and larger positive values will yield no further integer solutions. After checking the values sequentially, we conclude that the only integer solution to the equation \( x^3 + y^5 = 40 \) is:
\[ \boxed{(2, 2)} \]
