Visualizations often make complicated mathematical structures easier to comprehend. In this presentation, I will show how our team used the structure of an infinite tree to understand the solutions to a family of Diophantine equations of the form $x^s+D=2^t y$ for a fixed constant $D$, with solutions where $y$ is odd, $s\in\{2,3\}$, and $t\in\mathbb{N}$.
