-1 + 1 = 0.
U borrow 1 and add 1 to place the borrowed 1 and U are left with nothing. So therefore, the Answer is Zero(0). NA SIMPLE MATHS!
Re: Employment Test: 1+1=? Justify Your Assertion by BossTtdiamonds(m): 5:34pm On Sep 15, 2013
1 + 1 = 3
See Proof Below

Method one
1 = 1

41 – 40 = 61 – 60

16 + 25 – 40 = 36 + 25 – 60

4² + 5² – 2 * 4 * 5 = 6² + 5² – 2 * 6 * 5

(4 – 5)² = (6 – 5)²

4 – 5 = 6 – 5

4 = 6

2 = 3

1 + 1 = 3

Method two
put a+b = 0

so 1(a+b) = 0

1 = 0/(a+b)

0 = 1

adding 2 on both sides

0+2 = 1+2

2= 3

1+1 =3
Method three
Let x = y, then

x−y+y=y

x−y/x−y+y=y/x−y

We can then simplify as:

x−y/x−y+y/x−y=y/x−y

or

1+y/x−y=y/x−y

1=y/x−y−y/x−y

1=0

Now we know that x = y or 1 = 1 is true and that 1 = 0 or 0 = 1 is true, we pose:

0 = 1
1 = 1
1 = 1

Adding these three equations we get:

0 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 + 1

or

1 + 1 = 3

I think the answer would be zero as we would have to introduce brackets as follows

-1+1 = -(1-1) if we expand the bracket we have -1+1 that is - x 1 -(-1) would give us -1+1 hence from the above -(1-1) = -(0) = 0 Q. E. D

You should sue your primary school teachers for teaching you nansense!

You can write

(a-b)2 = (b-a) 2

but you cannot write
(a-b) = (b-a)

Just as |a-b|=|b-a| <> (a-b) =(b-a)




Boss Ttdiamonds:
Method two
put a+b = 0

so 1(a+b) = 0

1 = 0/(a+b)

0 = 1

adding 2 on both sides

0+2 = 1+2

2= 3

1+1 =3


Again, dude, you FAILED!

if a+b = 0

then 0/(a+b) <> 0. In this case, 0/(a+b) = undefined

You should really sue your primary school headmaster and ask for your money back

Olodo mathematician!

-1+1= Constant or Unchanged or Non-permanent changed value. Reason for my assertion. If what left(outflow) is equivalent to what entered(inflow), it means that system is still in its original state. Besides dont forget that zero as a value means no significant/permanent change occured.

but you cannot write

Just as |a-b|=|b-a| <> (a-b) =(b-a)


I think I should break it down a bit....
(4 – 5)² = (6 – 5)²
takin' the square root of both sides

(4-5) (2*1/2) = (6-5) (2*1/2)

(4-5)1 = (6-5)1

Removing the brackets we get
4 – 5 = 6 – 5
Now adding (+5) to both sides, we get
4-5+5=6-5+5
4-0=6-0
therefore we have
4 = 6
Dividing both sides by 2 we have
4/2=6/2
Then we have
2 = 3

Now from our normal math rule
1+1 = 2
substitutin' 1+1 for 2 in the equation
We have
1 + 1 = 3

I do not think this is about mathematics simpliciter, I think it is more like if you take money to invest, that is -1, when you make profit, it is +1. But +1 cannot come without -1, that is, without investment, there is no profit or gain.

Secondly, it looks also like when you remove one person from an employment and employ another person, you end up with the same expense, no economic loss. That is, -1+1=0

IMO though.

1+1=2

Personally, in answering this question, I ll leverage on the concept of team work which is neccessay in every organisation. That said, let's look at it this way, 1 is greater than two isn't it? It means that for you to get to 2, you must first get to 1 isn't it? 1 respresents a team member each. An addition of which is equal to 2 which is an elevated position to which every staff employee aspires.

The quest to get to that elevated position can be likened to a project in which you need a team member(1) and a team lead(1) to execute. Therefore each 1 needs (he other 1 to get to 2 which is the aspired position.

I could also put it this way, 2 (1+1) good heads are better than one. The aim of the interview is to discover the good heads and hopefully you ll top the list.

This might not make sense to some of you but sincerely, this is the way I would answer the question.

Re: Employment Test: 1+1=? Justify Your Assertion by spawne: 6:21pm On Sep 15, 2013
infiniteloop: 1+1= whatever you choose to define it.

Like earlier stated, it depends on the operating base of computation.

An example of what I mean is this:
1, 2, 4, ? What's the next number in the series?

This is a common math problem and on lower level of thinking, it is safe to assume this is a GP series and then conclude the next number is 8.

However looking deeper, the next number could be 17/3.

(1x5 -3)/1 =2
(2x5 -3)/2 =4
...
So third term will be (4x5 -3)/3 =17/3

Point is: when asked such a question, technically the right answer is to ask the condition.
Actually, when given a series, whatever "formula" that defines one, must define all. The calculations u just gave doesn't help us get the 1st term.
So unless you can come up with one that also helps you get the 1st term, it's safer to assume [2^(p-1)]. Where p signifies which term. Just saying.
Re: Employment Test: 1+1=? Justify Your Assertion by Infoay: 6:21pm On Sep 15, 2013
SilaV: It depends on the perspective with which an individual wants to view the equation.For instance,if we were to look at it from mathematics angle,then the following conditions would apply:
(1) The number bases you are working with.If it were to be base ten,then the answer would be 2.However,if it were to be base two,the answer would be "10"(pronounced one-zero)
(2)The operation the cross symbol represents.That is,the concept of binary operation would be looked at.In binary operation,the cross or plus sign is not regarded as the "normal addition" operator.Any sign that comes in-between two numbers in binary operation is often expressed as "opertion".For example, 1+1 is read as "one operation one".Of course, in binary operation if the plus sign actually means addition,then one of the rule would apply;1+1= 1.
Again, if the equation is to be looked at from social perspective,then the institution of marriage would come to mind.In marriage: 1+1=1
Just my contribution.
