Guest Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 a=b a2=ab a2-b2=ab-b2 9a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b) (a+b)=b a+a=a 2a=a 2=1 To be honest I didn't really come up with this i found it on another bwesite but it is awesome right?

0 MissKitten Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Reposting it to make it a little bit easier to understand: a=b a2=ab a2-b2=ab-b2 (a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b) a+b=b a+a=a 2a=a 2=1 I have found the flaw, but I remember when I posted that 1+1=0 and someone ticked me off by posting the flaw. It made me so sad that someone would go and ruin the fun. So I'm not gonna post it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I, however, have no problem posting the flaw: <p>if a=b, then a-b=0</p><p>From line 4 to line 5 you divide by (a-b), which is dividing by zero. This is not allowed.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that math teachers! If your math teacher takes more than 30 seconds to see the error, get another math teacher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mewminator Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 without even reading: the flaw is division by 0 after reading: you divided the 4th line by a-b and since a=b no need to go futher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wolfgang Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It is the same like: 25- 25= 25 - 25 (5-5)(5+5)=5(5-5)......deviding by (5-5):- 10=5.....the same mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Morningstar Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 This reminds me a bit of when we did systems of equations/inequalities in math class and we got nonsense like 7=5 or 0>11 when there was no solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 DIVIDE BY ZERO EXCEPTION a=b => a-b=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 a=b a2=a+b (not a2=ab because ab would be equal to "a" raised to the second power). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MissKitten Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 @Nan That's what he's saying. I reposted it right below with the correct exponents so it's easier to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
a=b
a2=ab
a2-b2=ab-b2
9a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1
To be honest I didn't really come up with this i found it on another bwesite but it is awesome right? Take that math teachers!
