Can't prove that 0/0=2 but 0/0=1

As bad as I am in maths, i knew from the third line that you're wrong. . . So wrong that only idle hands like mine will comment

You are really bad in math, and for admitting you need help

believe it or not. The equation is correct - from beginning to the end.

Just one among the basic formulae made the proof wrong, and that is...

.... any number divided by zero is never a real number.

You try but u should know Mathematics isnt magic. First, (10+10)(10-10) not equal 20. (10+10)(10-10) =(20)(0)=20*0=0
secondly, 10(10-10) is not equal 10. 10(10-10)=10(0)=10*0=0

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.

He squared the positive numbers why d negative sigh is dere all he should HV done it did way -(+10^2)

Referring to the numerator, -10 x 10 is not equal to -10^2 as written by the Mathematician. Instead, -10 x 10 = -100 while -10^2 = +100. The numerator says 100-100 not 100+100. Therefore the so called Mathematician is so wrong that he needs to get this off before small children see it and get confused

You're the one getting it wrong. There is a difference between -10^2 and (-10)^2. The former equals —100 while the latter equals +100. Op was referring to the former. He is still correct mathematically.

sorry mistake in my original post...but you do realise that it's impossible for that 10 below to divide the -10 above 'cos they're in their own induvidual equations. You don't just pick a number at random from an equation and decide to divide it....and even if it could, -10/10 would be = -1.

You are not really correct. He used a difference of two square rule which is ONLY applied in Mathematics when the squared numbers are different numbers otherwise the rule says it will end in zero.

I think 1 is a better answer though the process is creative. rule of whatever they call it now says:
1) any number divided by zero equals infinity
2) any number divided by itself is equal to 1.
so, which one applys?
In Further Mathematics, there is a chapter on LOGIC.
Any number divided by itself = 1..................correct.
But mathematically, 0 is a number.
So, 0 divided by itself = 1.

However, the OP like i said before, was creative, in applying basic algebra to arrive at his post. ie 0/0 = 2.
I can't fault him on that.
The attempt at reasoning it out alone, is to be commended. If indeed he /she is still in JSS class, as claimed.

You need to go back and learn. You don't understand what you are talking about at all
you are not only blind but also dumb. Didn't you see where he cancelled out -10 above with the 10 below ? Wouldn't that give us -1 ? Put that into the general equation and see where it leads you

Seriously, I tried disproving this without success. This goes to prove that there are other dimension of numbers which we are yet to explore. Anything or any number divided by zero is regarded as infinity.

0/0 = oXo

Infinity can be anything or any-non-thing.

Before the world was created, there was nothing. What is this nothing? Nothing came before God; what is this nothing?

This is more proof that when we think we are or have nothing, we are actually something - potentially. And when we think we are something or have everything, we actually have nothing - potentially.

he didnt do -10/10
What he did was (10-10) divided by (10-10)

they didn't teach you in secondary school that -1/1 and 1/-1 are all equal to -1 ?
Either you were a math failure or you didn't go to a proper school

You are busy insulting, when u obviously didn't understand the calculation done up there. The op didn't strike out 10/-10,rather he struck out (10-10)/(10-10). Check it out again, and follow the calculation carefully. Maybe you're the one whose maths result should be questioned.

did you do maths at all? he is so correct. (a+b)(a-b) = a2 + b2 is a law in maths and i can prove the law is correct
i didn't say that part is wrong. The part i have a problem with is where he struck out -10 with the 10 below and still didn't get -1. And you can't just pick any random number from a whole equation and decide to strike it out

No, not really.

Any INTEGER divided by 0 = infinity..............correct.
But 0 is not an integer, its an ordinary number, and any number divided against itself = 1. So, 0/0 = 1.

I am ashamed at all of you.

The guy is a genius but he is wrong. We do not need to prove or argue over this.

He is not wrong because he is wrong. He is wrong because it does not follow the rule of those who invented mathematics.

He is however a genius and can be the next Einstein if he proves or argue some other mathematical ideals (Try other numbers) and forward it to the maths centre (department of mathematics and statistics) in the UK.

wikipedia
An integer (from the Latin integer meaning "whole"wink [note 1] is a number that can be written without a fractional component . For example, 21, 4, 0, and −2048 are integers, while 9.75, 5½, and √ 2 are not.
The set of integers consists of zero (0 ), the
natural numbers ( 1, 2 , 3 , ...), also called
whole numbers or counting numbers,[1] and their additive inverses (the negative integers, i.e. −1 , −2, −3, ...). This is often denoted by a boldface Z (" Z"wink or blackboard bold (Unicode U+2124 ℤ) standing for the German word Zahlen ( [ˈtsaːlən] , "numbers"wink. [2][3] ℤ is a subset of the sets of rational and real numbers and, like the natural numbers, is countably infinite.
