Do you know what is mathematics?
Seriously, why this so much silly 'mathematicians'?

What is bodmas and where did he fail to apply it?
What BODMAS are you talking about for something that is mathematically meaningless in the first place? The guy in question needs rehabilitation!

abegi,ahhh,i dont have to be a mathematician to understand that he is right..

if our ancestors believed that 0 is a number too..0 is starting of numbers,then 0=1...if 0=1,then 0+0=2..

its simpel reasoning... angry angry angry

That's some hell of a Logical thinking there!! But Shouldn't 0+0=1??

WTF? if he can proof how he turned the zeros (0) into 100, then his prove will be valid!

(10+10) (10-10) following his method that shud be (20) (0) which means 20×0 which is 0 so my dear your wuru wuru to d answer no b here cheesy

Obviously most of these guys are secondary level mathematician. 0/0 is an indeterminable value in mathematics. Indeterminable means it can be anything.
If you take two values x^3/x and x/x^3 when x=0 they should both be 0/0. If you move x towards 0 ( differentiation) the first one moves to 0 while the second one goes to infinity. In this guys rigmarole he has made it 2 (and he is correct). His working is flawless technically but he hasn't proven anything. I can make it 3 or 10 or 100. That is why its indeterminable. If you did some higher maths like differential equations you will understand better. So his workings are correct but he hasn't done anything new

Dividing any number by zero (0) will give infinity.
So, mathematically it is wrong to say 0/0 = 0


grin

Shouldn't we be Right to say 0 is an Even Number if 0+0=2??

Men I need to Work on My Maths!! Am so Poor in it

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
I think you are not seeing the logic. He did it very mathematically and right.10 is a factor of 100 which follows. Just look better ways to counter his Lemma, not by insulting him.
Stems from this logic: if p+q=1, then it is true to write x^2+x-2=0 as x^2+(p+q)x-2=0 and x^2+px+qx-2=0

Zero divided by Zero = Zero.

Methodology:- If you have nothing and try and divide it by nothing you end up with nothing and not double of something.

Don't need complex calculations and numbers to solve this one!

It was creative but he got it wrong at the point where he applied the difference of two squares on the same base.

To use the difference of two squares, the base needs to be different. That is:

a2 - b2 = (a+b)(a-b)

Not

a2 - a2

The only thing 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 u on hungry stomachs) is what impresses me the hell out of me! Hope is not lost for naija

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
it will bro, try Nos with definite square roots to make it easier..... try 49,81,etc and follow d "OPs" principle...

you failed at the second to last step.
BODMAS
BRACKET OFF DIVISION MULTIPLICATION ADDITION SUBTRACTION.
You divided before removing the bracket.
you are trying to prove it wrong, but got proved wrong.

It's called convenient manipulation. Provided if sums up. The only illogical thing is 0/0. Denominators of zero exploding if it tends to zero very fast.

in one night, i've gotten more mentions dan i've ever had in my whole time on naira land. I mad a mistake in my first post, aknowledged. But did you guys even notice that at some point, the 10 in his denominator turned to 0. My bad, just saw it. I was concenterating on the 0 i saw there and how it ended up giving us our final answer

Flawed. Why wud u apply difference of squares only at the numerator? That wud hv given a correct answer.
He did so because he wanted 2 as his answer and not anything else...

Oga Op, that expansion is only valid if it is
(A square) - (B square)
and not
(A square) - (A square)
I stand to be corrected.

I first had to explain the difference of two squares.

P.S Proove Prove

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.

Since what was being used were perfect squares I then used an ordinary letter.

What we have here by the OP is a valid mathematical theorem.
