BluntCrazeMan: This is where it went wrong. You are supposed to evaluate the terms in the bracket first before dividing. Remember BODMAS? 1 Like

chocboi78: You can prove without using a perfect square; but doesn't mean the proof will be correct. The process is invalidated at any point there is a zero at the top and the bottom. In this case, every step – from start to finish – is invalid as 0/0 appeared in all the stages. 1 Like |

Had no clue. Went online to ask the same question and got this from quora The step that is improper is when we canceled out the (10-10) from both the numerator and denominator. The reason this is against the rules is because you are basically dividing 0 by 0. It basically does this: 0*a=0*b True 0/0=b/a True 1=b/a ? a=b. Not necessarily true Which is not necessarily true since you can arbitrarily choose a and b. Hope that Answers your question. Ronak Singh Chhikara 10th Grade Student |

enshy:Wrong. Any number divided by itself is one. That includes zero. So, zero/zero=0 |

Beloved3: Excellent sir. You gat it. BluntCrazeMan:Oga engineer... You have been told what it is. Your (10 - 10) / (10 - 10) is 0/0. You took it as something like x/x = 1. But nope. It is 0. Zero. And in maths 0/0 is undefined as you have been told. This is why you always get questions which they tell you that provided x is not equal to 0. There are many question like that. That guy above is a confirmed mathematician. You just wan use engineering brain scatter everyone's head here. Bro, take your time ooo. Actually, you are damn smart. But that guy that broke your bubbles is a confirmed mathematician. Thumbs up to you both. I love guys with brains like this. Excellent! 1 Like |

criuze:zero is unknown, and unknown means unknown, unknown is infinity, for instant u can ask who created the one that create the creations, starting from u, you are once zero, now living and enjoying life, when u died, u become zero to dust and zero u start again from where you end, another new life, zero over zero, you and God that is 2 this is the simplest way to explain this math to you, ok, the math is what define us and God, hope u understand sir |

Inspiration007:Difference of two squares sir; (10+10)(10-10) == 10² - 10² + 10² - 10² .. The two middle ones will cancel out, leaving 10² - 10². The error was dividing (10-10) by (10-10); it’s indeterminate, not equal to 1. Ps. Why did you spend seven years in engineering? |

Hello...YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO USE "BODMAS" IN STEP 4 if you use BODMAS...you will be required to solve whatever is in the brackets before DIVISION.If you do that you would have gotten ZERO as your answer! |

@spartialking, y saying its wrong? U are expected to correct wot ure 100% sure of. D guy is 100% correct! Its nothing but d difference between two perfect squares. U went on expanding and yet still got it wrong. Anybody versed in maths shudnt argue dat. If u expand correctly u get x2-y2. As for d question, its correct! 1+1 in maths can b 2 and bcoms another in other senario depends on where ure using it. Eg in advance maths like mathematical inductions, binary operations etc. E.g 25-25/(25-25) (5²-5²)/(5²-5²) (5+5)(5-5)/ 5(5-5) 10/5 2 Meaning u can use any perfect square figures like 1, 4 ,9, 16, 25, 36 etc dats y they use 100. Some people asking how he got 100-100, Use subtraction of same number, it gives zero SpatialKing: |
