shedrack222:


He is right there is -10^2 is equal to -100



Stop disgracing yourself -10^2 is +100. negative integers do not have square root. That is why the √-4 is not -2. If u argue that that -10^2 means -1(10^2) the its no longer a square. And difference of two squares will never apply.

The OP failed the following

1. He did not Obey BODMAS
2. He gave a negative integer a square root
3. He did not consider the for difference of two squares to apply, it must be btw a and b, not a and a or b and b.


a^2 - b^2 is equals (a-b) (a+b) but a^2 -a^2 is 0

The guy has succeeded in deceiving u too. -b^2 means -b x -b which will always give u a positive value. He ignored the sign before the 100 which is never done

100-100 is equal to zero already. No need to move forward. Go and read math well please. cheesy
that's what you do if you go in to trigs in mathematics eg prove that sin2x+ cos2x = 1 going further is allowed.

a^2 - b^2 is equals (a-b) (a+b) but a^2 -a^2 is 0

As long as there's a knowledgeable few. God bless you bro.

This is part of the reasons why we will still record mass failures in mathematics in waec. I won't be surprised if most of those saying he's correct are actually graduates.

10^2 - 10^2 = (10 + 10)(10-10) is very correct.

In mathematics, it is called 'Difference of two squares'


If you doubt, try simplifying the right hand side of the equation

dude (x+x)(x-x) where did you see this?? x-x = 0 na. check this is what the formula said: (a+b)(a-b)

He started failing it from the point where he struck out 10 and -10,the 10 on top is supposed to equate to -1 when divided by -1 which when put into the equation, will give you 19/10.
And secondly, you cant stricke out numbers that way. They are in brackets in their own different equations i.e an equation in an equation.
So my point is, the person who provided this so called 'proof' is a dullard
He is mathematically correct jor, he divided (10-10) by itself and that gave 1

so many english teacher here frm the OP he is logically and mathematically correct but in other subjects like accounting, physics, english he is totally wrong. cos in real life application you cant get something from nothing

Scientifically zero divided by zero equal to zero u dnt need any mathematics for this undecided only a common sense so d op is totally wrong

Any result outside this has made nonsense of d mathematics field tongue

OP's proof of his hypothesis is sound. He applied appropriate mathematical theories and proved that the white man's principles should not always be trusted.

This thread is not for everyone. It is strictly for Scientists and Engineers with 1st class and high 2-1 or Art and Commercial students with A1 or A2 in their GSCE/WAEC.Every other person should shut up or exit.

Too many gibberish being posted.

Re: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by Nobody: 10:09am On May 10, 2015
According to BODMAS, u have to solve wat u have in bracket before division but you divided without solving wat u have in bracket. its only when we have unknown value like ''X or Y" dat is when we leave wat is in the bracket to divide d equation like dat

seth...stop being stubborn.

Check again.

There is nothing like (0-10)
Maybe you should go on your laptop...it is (10-10) at the denominator.

Aside that...what you are saying is not done in mathematics.
You cannot say
(10-10)/(-10) = 10 - (10/-10)
= 10+1
= 11
Accept you are wrong
bros i can swear on grandpa's grave that my phone is showing me (0-10) as the denominator there and what you put down there isn't what i was implying.
And lastly, how da fvck did you know my name ?

It depends on how u look @ it.
zero divided by itself is infinity, so if d dude got 2 as an answer,he is probably correct.
like I said,it depends on how u look at it!
I can do my own and get 4...there is nothing genius any the maths. Oyibo don tell us tey tey say infinity na the answer.

Jeeze, of all the people countering my post, your own idea is the most ridiculous. How can he strike out only the brackets ? Who thought you that kinda math ?
. You don't know shit. When you have similar brackets in both numerator and denominator it strikes out. However, he is wrong cuz at that point we have a solution. So that is where the mathematical fallacy lies (10-10)=0 so no needing proceeding further.

I laugh at this. Bracket comes before division. Think of it this way. The bracket did come first. It was treated as a whole and used to cancel the whole bracket in the denominator.

Oya solve this 3(2+5)/(2+5). You can start expanding the brackets. Or you can easily cancel it out and get your answer as 3.
