0/0 is inconclusive (ie undefined) . Your manipulation is totally wrong.

Here. BODMAS.

You have to resolve the bracket before dividing.

Dear Mathematicians in the house....
I need you all to look at the attached picture below, and point out the spot where the whole mathematics started going wrong.

Thanks..

See earlier thread about this https://www.nairaland.com/5176879/it-been-proven-0-0

BODMAS rule violated and 0/0 is indeterminate.

U used Maths to prove, ok, we english ones, lets use english to prove u wrong, 0/0 is zero thing divided by zero thing, zero means not, thats nothing, if someone has a zero naira, which means, no naira at all, then, no one comes to divide the zero naira, how can that no one get 2 naira out of no naira, who is proving this self, thats why i dont like maths.

It's assumption..

You can also use 4 or 16 too.
Following the steps, any perfect square would work

Following the steps, any perfect square would work i.e 4, 9, 16 ....

Oya try it using 5 minus 5 over 5 minus 5 then i will doff my hat for you
(5 - 5) / (5 - 5)

Sorry this section here in the pic below is mathematically incorrect.

You have divided zero by zero (0/0) and
and that cannot happen in mathematics.

Doing that leads to a situation called 'undefined' in mathematics. Meaning that you would get an unknown result and hence you are not allowed to do it within the ambience of mathematical laws of the universe.


This has nullified your quest for solution. The result is mathematically unacceptable.

Cheers.

cuteralph101:


10 (10 - 10) is not equal to 100



Ordinarily, the calculation at the RHS was partly correct, though he made a wrong equivalence in the numerator. More importantly, the LHS was undefined and indeterminate, and that rendered the whole proof erroneous.

Re: Where Did This Mathematics Go Wrong? by CALCULUS16: 2:57pm On Sep 24, 2021
In mathematics, there is nothing like 0 divided by 0. Thats it is not posible or logical to have [10-10]/[10-10] to be 1 as in the solution above. Are u telling us there is 1 zero in zero. Any numbers in bracket in maths whose sum, difference, product equals zero is zero. That is not mathematically correct cos zero/zero equals zero. Only mathematical mumu cheesy ll think this solution is correct.

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


Am sorry to disagree

Zero is an absence of phenomenon( manifest or immanent)


It is determined and concluded void


There is their of excluded middle which implies that a thing be and no be at the same time

There's other mathematical concepts like probabilities that may help your unknown factor

In order word it is unscientific to assign value to unquantifiable factor - that which had not been emperically ascertained in a three dimension reality

CuteEmma:

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?
Re: Where Did This Mathematics Go Wrong? by Allocsoluwatosi(m): 6:13pm On Sep 24, 2021
ilevic:
The maths failed at the point of applying difference of two squares. To apply difference, the two terms must be different. For difference of two square to work, a(square) - b(square) is a must not be equal to b

Obviously, 10(square) - 10(square) is equal to zero.
This your assertion is correct provided you are dealing with a natural number. The same cannot be said of a real number, hence the guy might be right

What does difference of two squares mean? The difference of the square of the same number is zero whether real or natural number

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.

coolIf u cannot see wot am saying, den u did not see d trick in the question. The factorization for 10^2 -10^2 = (10-10)^2. This is different from (10+10)(10-10). (a^2-b^2) is not same as (a^2-a^2). U deceived cos it result in zero
