Question Number 224591 by Jyrgen last updated on 22/Sep/25
p is a prime number  prove that if p^2 +8 is prime ⇒                                          ⇒ p^3 +4 is also prime
$$\mathrm{p}\:{is}\:{a}\:{prime}\:{number} \\ $$$${prove}\:{that}\:{if}\:\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}\:{is}\:{prime}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:{p}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{4}\:{is}\:{also}\:{prime} \\ $$

for n∈N:  n=3k ⇒ 3∣n^2   n=3k±1 ⇒ n^2 ≡1(3)    p=3k ⇒ k=1 ⇒ p=3 ⇒ p^2 +8=17∧p^3 +4=31  p=3k±1 ⇒ 3∣(p^2 +8)    p∈P∧(p^2 +8)∈P ⇒ p=3 ⇒ (p^3 +4)∈P  in words: there is no other prime p with  p^2 +8 being prime than p=3
$$\mathrm{for}\:{n}\in\mathbb{N}: \\ $$$${n}=\mathrm{3}{k}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{3}\mid{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${n}=\mathrm{3}{k}\pm\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \equiv\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${p}=\mathrm{3}{k}\:\Rightarrow\:{k}=\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{p}=\mathrm{3}\:\Rightarrow\:{p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}=\mathrm{17}\wedge{p}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{31} \\ $$$${p}=\mathrm{3}{k}\pm\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{3}\mid\left({p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${p}\in{P}\wedge\left({p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}\right)\in{P}\:\Rightarrow\:{p}=\mathrm{3}\:\Rightarrow\:\left({p}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{4}\right)\in{P} \\ $$$$\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{words}:\:\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{other}\:\mathrm{prime}\:{p}\:\mathrm{with} \\ $$$${p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{8}\:\mathrm{being}\:\mathrm{prime}\:\mathrm{than}\:{p}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$
