Problem Statement

Prove that:
a) There are infinitely many pairs (x,y)(x,y) of real numbers from the interval [0,3][0,\sqrt{3}] which satisfy the equation x3y2+y3x2=3x\sqrt{3-y^2}+y\sqrt{3-x^2}=3.
b) There do not exist any pairs (x,y)(x,y) of rational numbers from the interval [0,3][0,\sqrt{3}] that satisfy the equation x3y2+y3x2=3x\sqrt{3-y^2}+y\sqrt{3-x^2}=3.
