d matmagician is ryt,bt accordin to my txtbook,anytin divided by itself is equal to 1...derefor,0/0=1..warri cant carry last..we no book die.

And u are absolutely correct too

0/0= (100+100)(100-100)/ (100+100)(100-100) = 1

The more reason why anything divided by 0 is UNDEFINED (can take any form)

skyope:
Good you learning something.

Reading through the post of most here, I have noticed the believe that (a+b)/(a+b) will always be 1. This is not true. I cannot over emphasize that it is only true for[b] non-zeroes of 'a' and 'b'[/b]. For an absolute truth, you must strictly apply BODMAS.

This is where the trick is. It is really just a trick. Playing on the believe that (a+b)/(a+b) will always be 1.

In fact, that is the purpose of the entire exercise.

BODMAS is king, forever.

(a+b)/(a+b) will be equal to one iff a=a and b=b, but mehn, Algebra is not as confused as u! a is a and b is b, so why will their sums not conceal each other out

BODMAS? Primary school stuff.....there are theorems, corollary and definitions that make it less applicable.

skyope:
There is no manipulation in mathematics. This is just a classical mathematical illusion where what is right is replaced by what appears to work.

Application of BODMAS strictly will destroy the logic expressed.

BODMAS is as elementary as it gets when dealing with A-level algebra. I forgot to " " the manipulation. (I.e "manipulation"

If u ve done trigonometry in its advanced form (even elementary), u'll get wat I'm saying. As for his equation, its simple and plain to see. The rules of BODMAS negligible

Statistics- facts from figures

Proudly one too. Tip my hat to you

skyope:
Hehe.

I dont even know where to start.

First with english. Undefined is not the same as infinity. For this purpose, it is the same as indeterminate. For this, Google.com is your friend.

Secondly, you confuse what works, with what is right. (a+b+c)/(a+b+c) with didvision first is only equal to 1 when a,b and c are non-zeroes. The non-zeroes part is really important. Else we have to follow BODMAS strictly by solving the bracket b4 the division.

B4 you respond, try google zero divided by zero, so no need for argument.

0/0 is undefined and yes indeed, indeterminate.

By the way, what is a termic bracket

Performing standard arithmetic with negaive/positive infinity is UNDEFINED, so 0/0 could be manipulated to fall in this set of numbers. Mathematics for u bro

ikennaya100:
Its not easy for one to think out those steps.kudos for that but, I have to stress that he got it wrong in figure 3. Every mathematical proof has to be consistent, therefore the numerator and the denominator should be expressed the same way. Thus, for a mathematical expression or proof to be correct; it has to be consistent .

In the law of Algebra, anything goes. 1 can be log10 base 10, or wateva u presume just to achieve a set Proof! The only fault in this is the naïve mindset. 0/0 can be anything betw 1 and positive infinity only with the condition of using numbers with complete square (e.g 4,9,16,25....)

CashVessel:
So wrong; the BODMAS principle was broken. Secondly, 10 x 10 - 10x 10 cannot be 10(10-10). That's an error.

10x10-10x10 = 10(10-10).... He didn't even need to include the step. It is correct Sir!

cupid1:
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 take back ur words cos it's very correct and true!

Any number/0 is undefined

Undefined in the sense that it can be manipulated to produce any number (from negative infinity to positive infinity)


So I guess he has a point......but he "unknowingly" proved the fact of the undefined nature of a denominator zero.


To further prove that; you can replace all the 100 by another number with a perfect square..(4,9,16,25,36.............). I would say it is mathematically interesting cos if looked into can emit some interesting corollary


N.B: I'm a graduate of Mathematical Sciences (Statistics) so I know what I'm saying. Bless u

Have u talked about teeth whitening? I want to know how effective it is and how much it will cost (both Govt & private institutions). Thanks a Mil

Nosyke:
Hey Tigress,

Take it easy. You don't know me from jack so you don't know about my dispositions to 'government jobs'. Government job doesn't thrill everyone and i am one of such. (and this isn't for lack of opportunity/access to government jobs). Which kind of job will force one to 'form poverty' just not to attract attention. Sunday flexing, really? So Monday to Friday is for suffer-head?...No, i'll pass life is too short abeg.

Maybe u don't know with Government Jobs u av access to long term loans (car, housing or credit) and many other benefits like going abroad for further training, annual leave, study leave (with or without pay).......you dont (or rarely) get this from the private sector. I'm a government worker and I can tell you first hand that as a young guy, my career is developing more rapidly as I have time for my ICAN and Masters programme.......also my mum has a frozen food business, and I'm part of it now. It's simple: "THERE IS MORE TO WORKING FOR FEDERAL GOVT THAT MEETS THE EYE".......if u are not in there, you can never guess correctly wats going on in there. PEACE

When some peeps here the word "bad guys"...they paint picture of a "wasted-but-redeemable-fellow"(weed smoking, a** stalking, gun-blazing....)


My take on the bad guys are the brains, the enlightened genius......the "do-little-but-easy" woman getter.......the calm and calculated fellow. So why won't a girl fall for a guy like this? As for the wasted type, they'll have to do a lot of convincing just to see a girl's underwear....... #MyCandidOpinion

tupem:
being cheap and going after what you want are 2 diff things!

In this case it's classified "killing one bird with two stones"....... However u wanna take it, I've experienced it firsthand so I know what I'm saying.

Well, all this points have been tried on me. Turns out I still prefer my "nagging and incentive" gf to a "devil in sheep clothings"..

A girl making herself cheap has one ending; GET LAID and LAID OFF! The end!

Been on the "jelqing" exercise for a month plus now and I must say there's been improvements:

1. Appearance is thicker and longer

2. Blood flows in quickly, giving it a full look before actual erection.

3. Early morning hard-ons.

4. Improved libido and intense orgasms


My Joystick is quite sensitive though and I need thicker clothing to hide erections wen aroused in public, but its ok. Length gain thus far is 0.5" (I.e from 6" to 6.5". And girth is 0.5" (from about 4.0" to 4.5".

I'm still on it, wanna see wat happens after 6months.

Bobo121:
Hmmmm.
I was told that a lecturer has to choose to supervise you before you can b admitted.

After the long wait? And how very inappropriate! I'll just settle for another univ, UNIBEN is not worth it **my opinion**

Bobo121:
I no join dem

Bobo121:
I no join dem

Its quite shocking anyways, let's see how it all plays out. I applied too for industrial maths

Bobo121:
They admitted 5 people into industrial mathematics. I heard lectures have started already

Only 5? Wow....kudos

Please any news on M.sc Industrial Mathematics? Pleeeeeeeeaaaasssssseeeee!!!

1. Well if she needs a kidney, I have two...she can have one, even if that reduces my life time

2. I will gladly donate enough blood to keep her alive and laughing


3. She can have my heart if she would make the most of it (affect lives positively as long as it beats in her chest)


4. She strikes me as a nice person so I'll take a bullet for her (win-win cos I'll be on my way to heaven)


5. She is a last born like me, we have vast creativity!! she could be the next big thing in the big scene


6. But if dying implies "falling in love with her"..... Yes! Cos she strikes as someone that 'll be very playful and naughty. Traits I cherish in my woman

dgregs336:
Third batch ke.... When I haven't even seen first batch in my department... Mathematics

It's quite frustrating. I applied for industrial Maths and still haven't heard anything...

@Casket

Congrates on your wife securing a job with the feds. Feel free to read through and comment

casket:
Many thanks sir
Congrats on yours as well, greater feats ahead.

Around 880k par annum. .

All the best, I'll mention u on an interesting thread that will be be beneficial if she's looking to secure a loan using her salary as collateral

casket:
My wife got her letter today, Data analyst 1 level 9 step 2, Federal ministry of communication and technology...

Congrates, what is her renumeration?

drsteroid:
kk..this confirmed that u have pinguecula..which seldomly comes with all the symptoms u have listed above..but steroid drugs are not usually prescribed just like that,even thou they are the most effective.I don't like prescribing drugs online 4 fear of drug abuse.check my signature and make use of it,so we can talk better.Thanx

Oh ok

drsteroid:
kk..this confirmed that u have pinguecula..which seldomly comes with all the symptoms u have listed above..but steroid drugs are not usually prescribed just like that,even thou they are the most effective.try get ivycrom,and diclogenta eye drops.Thanx

Thanks doc, I will get them ASAP! how do I apply them?

drsteroid:
who diagnosed and prescribed the use of the drug 2 u?

Here on nairaland, a doctor too. Its a yellowish growth in my left eye between my sclera and iris. It is usually red while the right eye will be white. And on exposure to dust, smoke or bright light, it hurts........

Please Sir, I have been diagnosed with pinguecula and asked to use steroid eyedrop for the infected eye (left eye), please can u prescribe a particular product so I can go buy it?

lomaxx:
The bump ( what you called 'growth' ) is called Pinguecula. Typically inflamed by exposure to dust, sun, wind. When it becomes inflamed( as evidenced by the redness and pain in your left eye) it becomes pingueculitis.

Typically presents as reddish painful eye that doesn't resolve on administration of antibiotic eye drop. This is because antibiotic kills bacteria but not inflammation.


Treatment of the pain and redness of pingueculitis is steroid eye drop. The steroid won't make the yellow bump(pinguecula) go away. It would remove the inflammation so you won't have the pain and redness.

The only way to remove it is surgical excision.

Meanwhile, see your ophthalmologist. And avoid sun rays. Your shades should come handy here.


PS: I love your history. Straight to the point and very helpful for instant diagnosis.

Thanks very much Dr, I do feel much better now as I have my shades on whenever I go out. The pinguecula is still there and the area around it is slightly reddish. I'm yet to use any steroid eyedrop, and I've not been to the clinic. please can u recommend a steroid eye drop I can use, I mean a product. Thank you

tundesto:
Yes even with allowance it may not be up to 65k.

Well, as long as it is not at the stipulated 59k estimate, of course I have other plans apart from Salary dependence. God de

in a case when Salary is owed by Government, will the bank wait till it is paid to make deductions or u'll have to pay somehow? Or in case they do it any other way. Please kindly state

tundesto:
They gave me one terms and conditions that I accepted and it was collected back from me. The loan interest is there I can't really remember cos it was many % added together like about 20% or 25% not sure, 2%, 1%, 0.5% etc. I regretted not doing photocopy. However you can use my monthly repayment to calculate the interest. I paid 5.7k as interest repayment while 5.9k is principal repayment totalling about 11.6k on 300k loan tenable for 3years.

The loan given to u by access bank, is it based on your salary as suggested above?
