102-102 IS NOT = (10+10)(10-10)

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
You guys are right.....the OP is creative.
Because, basically, a^2 - b^2 = [ a + b ][ a - b ]

Why must he use 100 - 100? If 5-5, will the answer be same?
The whole thing is absolutely wrong.

You keep saying he used difference of two squares but you still can't see his error.
a^2~b^2 but look at his equation.a and b are not two different entities.what you have is a=b because 10=10.
So he applied the ''difference of two squares" wrongly.

You are the one that doesn't know basic algebra.
a^2 - b^2 = [ a + b ] [ a - b ]

where a^2 - b^2 is '' a squared minus b squared.''
So, expand the brackets and solve.

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

You need to go back and learn. You don't understand what you are talking about at all

Mathematically correct! But can also be proved to be equal 1 or 1/2

emekachimek:


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
are you alright??

-b^2 means -b x -b ? Like seriously

Gush i don't even know what to say again.

Listen

(-b)^2 is different from -b^2

(-b)^2. Means -b x -b
While
-b^2 means -1 x b x b. Meaning. -(b^2)

Sad for u

Referring to the numerator, -10 x 10 is not equal to -10^2 as written by the Mathematician. Instead, -10 x 10 = -100 while -10^2 = +100. The numerator says 100-100 not 100+100. Therefore the so called Mathematician is so wrong that he needs to get this off before small children see it and get confused

You know next to nothing in Mathematics. Check the above thoroughly and agree to it.

Simply admit it!

So, what if a = 10 and b = 10 ?

It is called "Thinking outside the box".Mathematics is an important tool for engineering designs. An innovator can use simple mathematically models to design anything he or she wants and one mathematical model can solve many design problems.

His solution is scientifically and mathematically correct.

did you do maths at all? he is so correct. (a+b)(a-b) = a2 + b2 is a law in maths and i can prove the law is correct

Oops. Sorry. 0 cannot divide (cancel out) 0. That is, (10-10) cannot divide (10-10).

You have admitted you do not know mathematics. So don't judge. @Op has correctly applied mathematical principles.

@Op, we could push this beyond here if you know what I mean

@all mathematicians, I hope we know how 0! = 1?

Creative but wrong.

I could arrive @ 1 by doing the following...
(10+10)(10-10) / (10+10)(10-10)
=1

This approach is wrong bro, bodmas comes to mind.
