Hi! Can somebody please help me? I have been stuck on this question for too long now.

Examine this set of Pythagorean triples from part C. Look for a pattern that is true for each triple regarding the difference between the three values that make up the triple. Describe this pattern. Then see if you can think of another Pythagorean triple that doesn’t follow the pattern you just described and that can’t be generated using the identity (x^2 - 1)^2 + (2x)^2 = (x^2 + 1)^2. Explain your findings.

The Set of Pythagorean triples:
x-value Pythagorean Triple
7 (14,48,50)
8 (16,63,65)
9 (18,80,82)
10 (20,99,101)
