At first sight, it is wrong... buh on a second thought it is absolutely correct! Tho it is systematically and scientifically incorrect! I'm pleased tho

What he did was: (100-100)=10^2 - 10^2 which is wrong. -100 does not have a square root but u can have square of -100 which is equal to +10000. ONLY POSITIVE NUMBERS HAVE SQUARE ROOTS BUT ALL NUMBERS HAVE SQUARES. He failed it when he factorized -100 as 10^2: It is wrong.

There is an invisible bracket there grin

Lol, everything was okay till he/she decided to expand 10^2 - 10^2

The expansion no bad at all, but the cookie crumbled with negligence of BODMAS, treat the contents of the brackets prior to simplification

But his fractionalization was wrong: 100-100 is never 10^2 - 10^2 because -100 is NOT equal to -10^2. -10^2 = +100.

Exactly, my point... You never can get a negative before a square. Correct guy. Vote this chick for me biko, we need technocrats and not Polithievcians & Mathmagicians

@Op, you tried but missed out the rule of of BODMAS, which is the guiding rule in resolving mathematical equations. BODMAS ended the use of disjointed/subjective use of mathematical signs

Your claim is wrong!

Expand a2- b2

Lets use normal numbers

16-9 =42 - 32
(4-3)(4+3) = (1)(7) = 7

and indeed
16 - 9 =7

I don't know where you came about your - 100 theory.

godofOrijin:



Mathematics is one abstract discipline. I could just prove 1 + 1 != 2 by following the so called mathematical principles.

@ the guy arguing that anything divided by zero is infinite so 0/0 should be infinite due to the zero @ the denominator, do you realize the numerator is also 0? Nd going by what you claim, we could also draw a straight conclusion by saying the answer is zero. We now have two conflicting results... Zero, infinite. The result ''1'' is realistic because zero and infinite are two opposing forces of mathematical principle which crosses out to one.

You are absolutely correct!

I don't know how the mathematicians came up with the whole 0/0 = infinitity
Cuz simple logic states that any number divided by itself is 1.
So why is zero an exception?

In any case, we have indeed proven that 0/0 is 1.

The guy has succeeded in deceiving u too. -b^2 means -b x -b which will always give u a positive value. He ignored the sign before the 100 which is never done

The more I'm reading comments the more confused I get. Anything mathematics,count me out. My maths teacher(dos who went to Gbaja Girl)Mr Ibe made sure we hated d subject the moment he took over in SSS1,lol!
I only managed to pass it in GCE o,lol!
Funny enough its been a subject I loved in my junior secondary years.
Anyway ,I don't intend to teach or be taught mathematics again save for the one I'll need in calculating my "billions" as soon as it stats arriving. Heck that's why we have accountants jare.
Happy sunday everyone

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
the OP is wrong..but what u just wrote is stupid.i can bet it...u don't know maths

Nice..

The mathematical principles applied were TOTALLY correct.

I would not fail this student if I were the teacher... smiley
dont be daft. What he did was as wrong as saying
0/0 = (2*0)/(1*0)=(2)/(1)=1
He could as well have said
0/0 =(92*0)/(2*0)=(92)/(2)=46

By the principle of BODMAS, Brackets come before Division....you have to simplify the bracket before trying to divide. So..think again

Wrong in many aspects, this mathematican forgot a simple principle to influence the components correctly the fourth step should be (-10² - [=10²]) / (-10²-[=10²]) for which the answer is zero .

Once the answer of a function is zero unless such function is influences by another element the answer to it's summation would always be zero
