10(square) - 10(square) is not the same as (10+10) (10-10).


The mathematician failed to apply the law of the difference of 2 squares correctly.

7 years of Engineering no be waste sha o lol

Baba u av used your math to eat EBA . Its correct. Difference of 2 squares. a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Four out of three people hate/struggle with maths

and funny enough you are wrong. Go back to your book or better expand and see what you will get

Over To You Mathematicians

the mistake started from the beginning 0/0 =0

If you can prove it, erase your name from future Forbes' list. You wil die as an employee.


The only maths you will need to survive in life are basic divisions, additions, multiplications and subtractions.
All these nonsense proofs in mathematics with no foundation in reality are for tickling the brains of nerds only.

Then prove the picture wrong...

As you can see, your belief was proven otherwise inside the picture..
So, disprove the picture by busting the spot where they did wrong mathematics.

In mathematics, you prove or disprove things.
You don't just believe things because you were told.

Mathematics is not Religion.

Of course, mathematics is no religion. Though interesting for mere academic exercise and brain teaser. nevertheless, from our basic elementary arithmetic, BODMAS; From the numerator":
(10 + 10)(10 - 10) = (20)(0) = 0. This implies: 0/1 = 0.

10 × 0=0 stop jonsing

Thanks..

From the question

unite4real:


Oya try it using 5 minus 5 over 5 minus 5 then i will doff my hat for you

U don get it, just about anything can be concocted . Ok, 5-5/5.5. = 5(1-1)/5(1-1)=5/5=1. After (1-1)/(1-1) cancel out

bukas15:
and funny enough you are wrong. Go back to your book or better expand and see what you will get

Rest comrade . I'm not saying he is correct I'm saying the usage of difference of 2 squares in that manner is correct. 10²-10²=(10+10)(10-10)

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
IF YOU ARE NOT A MATHEMATICIAN,DONT BORDER YA BRAIN because YOU WONT UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE BEHAIND THE CALCULATION. THIS IS NOT SHOWSBIZ OR YA SOCALLED NOLLYWOOD ABRAKATABRA

But 0/0=0. Calculator is ur friend

Analysis is mostly the study of infinitesimals and limiting processes. The OP's questions has no relationship with analysis.

Ok

perambulator:



good for tricking people but a fraction is a portion of something, you cannot have a fraction of nothing.

By the time u finish considering -1 then u will agree zero is not nothing

The error is the application of ''Difference of two Squares''. This principle is not applicable for ''the same Squares''.

ie (a²-b²)=(a+b)(a-b) ~ two squares

(a²-a²)=(a²-2aa+a²)~ Same Squares
=(a²-2a²+a²) =0

Hence 10²-10²=0
Difference of two squares has to be the square of two seperate variables.

NB: Mathematics is not to form compound problems or equation, but to resolve compound problem into relatable solutions.

This whole mess started from 0= 2. How can you say that without defining the context. If it is binary or other operations.

That step four na bullshit.

alurayaks:


10^2 -10^2 is not equal to (10-10)^2

Yeah this is the answer. Its wot I said too. Only, the manner of dis answer is extremely CUTE. Very apt. Kudos

10^2=100
10+10=20
So 10+10 not equal to 100

I don't even understand anything there.

Krismas:
U don get it, just about anything can be concocted . Ok, 5-5/5.5. = 5(1-1)/5(1-1)=5/5=1. After (1-1)/(1-1) cancel out

this calculation of yours did not give you 2 as answer against the previous 0/0 = 2. You arrived at 1

UyaiIncomparabl:
I don't even understand anything there.

Yet, your mind is a multiverse?

This is what our poor education system has afforded us. In my first semester abroad, I realized most of my Naija maths lecturers did not have good content knowledge, all na cram and pour. That is why GRE and other standardized exams appear to be hellish.

If you did proper mathematics you would know that 0/0 is INDETERMINATE. Then you would save your ink and rest.

Unleemeeted:
I feel the problem started from that factorisation part below the division.. when u factorised, u did not check both side properly and something is still common to both side...

U wrote 10(10-10) instead of 100(1-1)...

I don't know maybe u get the angle I am coming from ...

See below

10 x 10 - 10 x 10
= 10 (10 - 10)

Just the way you have 2X - 4
= 2 x X - 2 x 2
= 2 (X - 2)

AntiChristian:


Genius don answer am before.

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.

How is (10-10)(10+10) = 10+10? lol

The difference of two squares has to be two different variables. so (10)squared - (10)squared != (10 - 10)(10+10)

It only works if we have (a)2 - (b)2 where a!=b

Line 4
What you do to the numerator must be done to the denominator
In line 4 that rule was not obeyed

Tell me how it is wrong from the beginning.

If 0/0 =2 then 2/1=0/0 ?
0/0 is undefined, therefore, it's said to be indeterminant
