Question: Can we solve the following Diophantine equation,

Let s = [tex]\sum_{i=1}^{7} \beta^{i} + 1[/tex] for some [tex]\beta \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] such that [tex]-1 < \beta < 0[/tex].
Question 1: Does [tex]y = (\frac{234,567,890,123}{s})^{ \frac{1}{7} } \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]?
Question 2: Does [tex]x = \beta y \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]?
If our questions, one and two, have affirmative answers, then we can solve our equation, otherwise, we cannot solve it. Right?
What is the algorithm that answers our question in polynomial time or less than polynomial time?

That's the power and clarity of good theory!

For example, let [tex]x = 8[/tex] and let [tex]y = -19[/tex], ....

Let [tex]s(\beta) = \sum_{i=1}^{7} \beta^{i} + 1[/tex] for some [tex]\beta \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] such that [tex]-1 < \beta < 0[/tex].
Question 1: Does [tex]y = (\frac{234,567,890,122}{s( \beta )})^{ \frac{1}{7} } \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]?
Question 2: Does [tex]x = \beta y \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]?
If our questions, one and two, have affirmative answers, then we can solve our equation, otherwise, we cannot solve it. Right?
Since [tex](234,567,890,123)^{ \frac{1}{7} } < 43[/tex], we have [tex]s( \beta ) - \frac{234,567,890,122}{ \lambda^{7} } = 0[/tex] for some [tex]\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex] such that [tex]\lambda \ge 43[/tex].
However, we claim [tex]s( \beta ) - \frac{234,567,890,122}{ \lambda^{7} } = 0[/tex] is unsolvable for [tex]\beta \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] such that [tex]-1 < \beta < 0[/tex].
VERY FLAWED CLAIM: Moreover, we claim [tex]s( \beta ) - \frac{2c}{ \lambda^{7} } = 0[/tex] is unsolvable for [tex]\beta \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] such that [tex]-1 < \beta < 0[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2c}{ \lambda^{7}} \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] such that [tex]0 < \frac{2c}{ \lambda^{7}} < 1[/tex].
Thus, if we are correct, then our specific example has a negative answer. And our general claim may be solved depending on the value of c.
