Show that every Pythagorean triple (x, y, z) with x, y, z having no common factor d > 1 is of the form (r^2 - s^2, 2rs, r^2 + s^2) for positive integers r > s having no common factor > 1; that is

x = r^2 - s^2, y = 2rs, z = r^2 + s^2.

Show that if (x,y,z) is a primitive Pythagorean triple, then X and Y cannot both be even and cannot both be odd. Hint: for the odd case, assume that there exists a primitive Pythagorean triple with X and Y both odd. Then use the proposition "A perfect square always leaves a remainder r=0 or r=1 when divided by 4." to produce a contradiction.
