TheGoodJoe:

Abuses does not give you credence or rep.
The fact is that Buhari was pushed a lot

Even the military rule he made a mess of was handed to him on a platter. Other people carried out the coup. When it was over, he was luckily the one selected to rule. Not earned.

You can abuse from today until tomorrow but the truth won't change.

pquaver:


Your problem is inconsistency.. Tomorrow you will call him dictator and coup plotter on this same platform. There is something people see in him that is rare. That is why they push him. Why have they not pushed you?

Stubborn82:


Am not talking about mathematics here, am concerned about what led to the question of op.

Multiplication might be your interest, but for me, is the disruptive thinking.

The disruptive thinking is what bring new idea, every modern business need a position of entrepreneurs just like the way we have the position for HR, GM, MD, CEO. That is the position that really matter to bring about improving productivity and gaining competitive advantage in the market place.

TheGoodJoe:
I think I have noticed where the confusion is coming from.

When it comes to multiplications, the discussion should start from the product and not the factors.

This are mathematical laws that u should obey,


U can't ask God y thou shall not kill



2*3= lll lll. Three in two places

0*3 =. Means 3 in zero places

That's is y we arrive there as our final ans

BobFischer:

mind you 0 * 3 and 3 * 0 are two different statement.
0 (nothing) * 3 (something) = 0 (nothing)

3 (something) * 0 (nothing) = 0 (nothing).
why isnt it 3 * 0 = 3 0 * 3 = 0

oluwafemiabioye:


Simply from left and right cancellation law.

BobFischer:
Why is any any number multiply by zero is equal to zero?

10 x 0 = 0
100 x 0 = 0
1000 x 0 = 0

If i have 100 oranges on a table and i multiply it by zero. Why do i suddenly have zero?

100 oranges X 0 = 0
1000 pears X 0 = 0


front page please
mathematicians in the house please gather.

Gabbriell:


Multiplication is basic maths (primary level). It's everybody's interest. This kind of disruptive thinking without basic maths is nothing but ignorance.

I understand your point sha and what you said about disruptive thinking is true.

I REST MY CASE

teepain:
Basically, multiplication means to add a number of times.

For instance, 3x7 means 3 times 7. The 3 times 7 actually means 3 times (we add) 7.

Hence, 7x3 = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21.

In the same vein, 5 x 0, means 5 times we add 0 or add 0 in 5 places.

Hence, 5 x 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Because of the commutative law of multiplication, which states that the order in which a set of numbers are multiplied does not affect their product,

5 x 0 = 0 x 5

Therefore, regardless of the order you will have zero as your answer if you multiplied any number by zero.

adanny01:


Sure

If I must reply,

3 x 7 means 3 times 7 or 3 by 7

This means we add 3 up to 7times

3+3+3+3+3+3+3=21

This is why the primary school multiplication table is arranged separately for each number

2x1=2 | 2
2x2=4 | 2+2
2x3=6 | 2+2+2
2x4=8 | 2+2+2+2

The question is how will you write

2x0 | ?

You can write

0x2 | 0+0

It is easier to explain 0x2 than 2x0

0x2 is twice of nothing
2x0 is nothing of two things

Take 2 real oranges in your hands for instance, in what scenario will you multiply them so that they turn to zero or nothing? I guess you can't except by magic.

That means the concept of zero or nothing is purely a figment of imagination and purely abstract.

TheGoodJoe:
I think I have noticed where the confusion is coming from.

When it comes to multiplications, the discussion should start from the product and not the factors.

For example,
You want to produce dresses for girls in a class.

How many dresses do you need to Produce?

This is when the factors are considered.

50 girls and 2 dresses each.

That becomes 50 X 2 = 100 dresses.


If there are no girls to produce dresses, even if you want to produce 2 each, you can't Produce any, which is zero.

0 X 2 = 0.

Finally even if there are 50 girls but they are not going to collect any, how many will he Produce, none, zero.

50 X 0 = 0

Worldliness:



Zero practically means nothing.

So nothing 1 time, nothing 2 times and nothing 1000 times 0r 1million times is still equal to nothing.

Eg) if i dont have 1 naira, if you ask me for 1 naira for 1 time or even 100 times, i still dont have any. that is it.

Tohsynetita1:

Probably, you don't understand the meaning of multiplication, God says be fruitful and multiply. For multiplication to occur, it must be 2 entity that are not empty, Procreation is as a result of union of two people. Man with Nothing can not bring a child. The zero, in the expression will always affect the answer and make it to be nothing.

studentofTruth:


It is not. See this explanation:

Back to your question, I will attempt to explain it using Einstein's general relativity theory. "Everything is relative to something else." In the case of anything multiplied by zero giving a product of zero, that "zero" product is relative to the action and not the entities multiplied — the product being zero doesn't mean that the non-zero entity vanished.

Let me explain with your oranges example:
First scenario (10x0 = 0): You have 10 oranges to give out. The action here is "to give out 10 oranges." To complete this action, there must be 10 oranges to give out and someone or something to give them to. In this case, you have the 10 oranges, but there's nobody/nothing to give the oranges. Relative to the intended action — giving out 10 oranges — you have given out zero oranges. However, it does not mean that the entity (10 oranges) vanished. In other words, the fact that the second entity needed to complete the action is not there (value: 0) doesn't mean that the first entity (10 oranges) has vanished. It only means that the action cannot be carried out (value: 0).

To put it as an equation:

Entity1(Present) x Entity2(Absent) = Action(Absent)

Second scenario (0x10 = 0): You want to give out oranges to 10 persons. The action is "to give out oranges to 10 persons." To complete the action, you must have both entities — the oranges to give out and the 10 persons you will give the oranges. But you have no (zero) oranges, so the action cannot be carried out. Relative to the action — giving out oranges — you have done nothing (zero oranges given out). However, this doesn't mean that the 10 persons vanished because there were no oranges. In other words, the fact that the other entity needed to complete the action is not there (value: 0) doesn't mean that the second entity (10 persons) has vanished. It only means that the action cannot be carried out (value: 0).

To put it as an equation:

Entity1(Absent) x Entity2(Present) = Action(Absent)


The point I'm making is that, using general relativity theory, the product of any multiplication with zero relative to the action and not the entities in the multiplication. The absence of any of the entities means that the action cannot be carried out, but the other entities don't cease to exit.

So, even in cases of 10x2x0 = 0, you can extend this logic to explain it.

An example of everyday application of this can be seen in anything. If there's no patient to be operated, the surgeon carries out no surgery, but it doesn't mean that the doctor or his surgical skills have vanished.
If a fund manager sees no good opportunity to invest in, no investment happens, but that doesn't mean that the fund manager or the cash has vanished. This is why cash is a component of any portfolio — it stays there waiting for the right opportunity to go make you more money.

mind you
0 * 3 and
3 * 0 are two different statement.

0 (nothing) * 3 (something) = 0 (nothing)


3 (something) * 0 (nothing) = 0 (nothing).

why isnt it
3 * 0 = 3
0 * 3 = 0

0 * 10 oranges at hand = 10 oranges... Reasons being that the oranges won't mysteriously disappear from my hand...

Imagine multiplying the 6 luggage bags by 0 and yet the load from the luggage still on you...

adanny01:


I see no difference between you and I.

The second bolded means you can't give 10 oranges to noone in reality

BobFischer:


This translate to zero 0 (if i dont have 1 naira) * 1 or * 100 = 0 (i still dont have any)

NOW THIS

(You have) 100 * 0 (nothing) = 0 (nothing)
translate to you have 100 and i ask zero time(simply i dont ask) and then you loose your 100

so how do you explain this?
losing you 100 when you do nothing

Nwaelohim:
The inhabitants of this world is running in programming, we simply conform to what the society accept as normal not because is normal, for example what is one? What ever you say one is right now is what you are pattern to believe.

Like in religion, when you use logical reasoning religion will never make sense to you ,
So we are simulations in a programmed world.

Jettison your logic if you don't what to be insulted by conformed humans.

asked my maths for economics lecturer this question when he was taking us matrix during year1 and the whole class burst into laughter amd the prof sent me.out of his class..
I gat go beg the man with a bottle of wine and 2k recharge card, the man still deduct 5 marks from me for taking his class for a ride just because of this same logical question..
dnt jus know why our uni lecturers do feel like demi gods..

ibuildstuff:

Nope, u did not loose anything, u still have ur 100, n u loose nothing.
So that nothing u loose is regarded as the zero.
