2=1

[CrazyPerson]

a=1 b=1

a=b
a2=ab Note: thats (a square) NOT a(2)
a2-b2=ab-b2 Note: thats (a square)-(bsquare)
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a-b) cancels out on both side
a+b=b
1+1=1
2=1


since 2=1 we can say
# = any other #

That'd be fascinating to the kids that take the short bus with you.

The bolded area is your biggest problem. You can't cancel out a 0. 😉 But congrats, 0=0. Well played.

 

[AgentEL]

a - b = 0

Edit: you're fast zippy

 

[rgwalt]

You can't divide by a-b because a-b is 0, and 0/0 is undefined.

Thanks. 😛

 

[thelanx]

a-b is 0

[edit]whoa, too slow lol[/edit]

no, it isnt


0/0 is the only time when something is divisible by 0...


0/0 is 0 😛

 

[CrazyPerson]

it works for all except 0

wheres that stupid math pic when you need it

0/0 = undefined.

but when you're talking out your ass, it's just fine 😉

 

[CrazyPerson]

i guess math sucks...
its either wrong or undefined

0 / 0 is impossible, it's not 0.

 

[Syringer]

Since division is based off of multiplication..for example 4 x 2 = 8, means that 8/4 = 2..or more generally a x b = c means that c/a = b, the case for 0 / 0 = b would be defined by 0 x b = 0, and since b can be anything there's no solution.

hes right anything/0 is undefined. you just cant do it. 0/0 = ??????? undefined

 

[AgentEL]

0/0 is indeterminate not undefined

yay for false proofs. this reminds me of the time in geometry when we proved every triangle is isocoles.

I checked the math. You can only play around with this with multiplication and division. Once you do the add/subtract, its no longer correct anymore

yeah... that was cool too
