The proof was almost correct until he cancelled out cancelled out (10-10)/(10-10) as "1". This cannot be so. 0/0 is NOT EQUAL to 1. So it cannot be cancelled out like that. (a-a)/(a-a) is always equal to zero! That's the point where he lost it. Other things are based on sound mathematics. But (10-10)/(10-10) is NEVER equal to ONE.
The rule is for any random numbers 'a' and 'b', (a-b)/(a-b) = 1 .... EXCEPT when a=b

Don't you think 0/0 can be;
0/0=200-200÷200-200 or 0/0=10000-10000 ÷ 10000-10000? Mathematically the question is wrong so is the answer! It can even be 2-2÷2-2. So Mr. Mathematician am sure these 3 won't give the same answer as two. grin grin grin

The logic there is; do what ever it takes(mathematically correct) to get 2 wink

The only this post did was make me proud of my naija people. I thot Internet has Damaged everybody! Too see people holding very abstract mathematical discussion on a social forum like this is what they do all the time in this difficult times in our lives is very damn impressive! I don't care if everybody is wrong, it is the ability to even attempt a mathematical discourse (with most of on hungry stomachs) is what impresses me to hell! Hope is not lost for naija
I proposed a Maths room seems no one including the operators were interested. Youths are now only interested in what Genevive is wearing to wash her car or the colour of Davido's shoes or throwback picture of one stupid celebrity who virtually contributes nothing to their lives order than making more money off their more stupidly.

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
bros pls go back and do your maths home work b4 u start looking 4 dullards who seem better than u.

john Dalton's model of atom was modified by rutherfold .. did the white men say john is a great scientist and therefore is model stand no room for modification
so many other model have been modified
I know the reason some of us don't accept this simply because he/ she is a Nigerian

I admire the work my only take on it is that he should have simplified both numerator and denominator same way so that it all equals 1
thanks.

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
To me, i feel you're not supporting the right thing! How can you say it's correct when he deviated from the Initially stated equation of 10^-10^ which is supposed to be (10*10)(10*10). Not too good in math but i think I've a little idea of what he was doing. He totally fit in his own principles to justify the end.

The calculation is 100% mathematically correct. All the steps are correct. Kudos to the mathematician!

However, in Mathematics, 0/0 is considered undefined. In fact, 0/0 could be proved be equal to several numbers, just like the mathematician proved that 0/0 = 2.

Once again, kudos to the mathematician!

For those of you condemning the mathematician, you need to go back to school!

logica:
Infinity is NOT the same as "undefined" or "indeterminate".
Now please don't draw me into an argument. Now when we were at secondary level when the concept of infinity could not be easily put across we used undefined for any solution where a numerator is being divided by zero. But at higher levels where we can now grasp the concept we know that dy/dx as dx--->0 =infinity. So undefined has now been replaced by infinity.
Now let's use common logic and english can you define infinity?

Firstly I love anything numbers.be it maths,f-maths,eng-maths.don't see this as a competition on who is better at maths but just smtin to tickle d mind.but let me just drop this .
Notice that in trying to prove that 0/0 =2 ,d OP actually assumed as well dat 0/0=1. (By striking out 10-10 on both d numtr and dentr).remember in maths u only strike out if they r equal value so he is actually saying 0/0=1 which already faults wat he is trying to prove.
Secondly: difference of 'Two' squares is a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b) when a is not equal to b.many students do not quote d complete theorem.(d moment a=b,u get zero). Again watch this.
if I say (10x-10x)/(10y-10y)=x(10-10)/y(10-10) .by striking out(like d op) I will get x/y as answer. Again this wrong cos to strike out am assuming 0/0=1,question is ,hw can u b proovn dat 0/0=2 n u re using 0/0=1 to do dat.wrong!!.my humble thoughts. #maths is sweet

Yes, he applied the rule which brought about brackets that were poorly executed, do you see where I'm going with this?
Re: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by fuchong(m): 12:02pm On May 10, 2015
He did not cancel 10 with - 10. But (10-10)/(10-10).it really make sense. All my years of teaching mathematics I have never reason it this way

my FRIEND this is very mathematically wrong buh i can say its logically correct. Maths tells us to use BODMAS in all we do under maths. Do u knw y i love maths ?? Becos it never lies. Follow the rules and any question must give thesame answer. Pls use BODMAS

I am always willing to learn new things but my simple research did not agree with the bolded as there is no excemption. In mathematic, a can be equal to b


But finally I have to admit that every point the denominator ends in a subtraction that equals zero the whole thing ends as undefined making the cookie crumble. So theorem fallacied.

they didn't teach you in secondary school that -1/1 and 1/-1 are all equal to -1 ?
Either you were a math failure or you didn't go to a proper school

What he cancelled out was (10 - 10) / (10 - 10).

That's the whole expressions in the bracket. ..not 10/-10 or -10/10.

Thank you.

Though we all know his theory doesn't stand sha but you dey fall hand. Your point is wrong.
