For b<ab < ab<a and d<cd < cd<c in N\mathbb{N}N, if (a−b)2(1+(a+b)2)=(c−d)2(1+(c+d)2)(a-b)^2(1+(a+b)^2) = (c-d)^2(1+(c+d)^2)(a−b)2(1+(a+b)2)=(c−d)2(1+(c+d)2) then a=ca = ca=c and b=db = db=d. Hence distinct nonnegative integer points (t,t2)(t,t^2)(t,t2) have pairwise distinct distances: an nnn-point set of this form is in general position and determines exactly (n2)\binom{n}{2}(2n​) distances. Supporting construction fact for exact distinct-distance bounds; proves no lower bound by itself.
