asoderock:don't take it personal bro. I believe this is just fun. Haven said that, he will be just to do it that way if we use the absolute value. -10 = -1*abs(-10) so 10-10=10+(-10)=10+(-1)(abs(-10)) =10-(abs(-10)). Now I guess we can square the two values ![]() Note: be lenient enough to permit the square of an absolute number because its just a measure of distance from zero. But like I said, its all fun. we all know anything divided by zero is undefined. |

As much as I would say the guy is A genius. Why must he represent 0 as 100 - 100. It could be 5 - 5 let him try another number that's not a perfect square to see if he'll arrive at 2. If he doesn't, then he's wrong |

logica: lol ![]() Dude, you just murdered the whole thing. Anyways, I think he deserves some credit for giving the 0/0 thing a 'new' twist and getting some people here mathematically active. The proof may be a form of intellectual 'masturbation' for the poster, but it is a rather stimulating one. (I learnt something here today believe me) 1 Like |

. But this has got me seriously reasoning[/quote] [quote author=brytandre post=33614483] Then his premise could stand 0/0 = 0.00000000001/0.00000000001 = 2 Don't u think? This could be applied to science and tech if looked into critically. Okay lemme stop before I take it too far.

MrOlai:mayopic vision is your problem (10+10)(10-10) / 10(10-10) = . Maybe we where taught different bodmas, buh mine says remove the brackets b4 dividing and if you do so, u'd get 0/0. Pls go back 2 your elementary mathematics and leave maths 4 sane people till u fully understand and tink like a learned person. |

jstriker442: BODMAS AGAIN?! See it this way bro: (a+b)(a-b)/a(a-b)....(where a=b) Do we need BODMAS before we identify a common term on both numerator and denominator to cancel out (a-b)? Besides: It is (a+b) x (a-b) / a(a-b) so u can cancel out Now compare to (10+10)x(10-10) / 10(10-10) .....definitely holds that (10-10) can cancel itself out. Thanks 1 Like |

In mathematics, for an answer to be correct, it has to be logical and unique. The answer follows a logical procedure but it fails the condition for uniqueness of solution because you can get a different answers following that reasoning for different numbers and by other possible orubebe. The problem 0/0 sadly has no unique solution. Thats why its called undefined. I hope this helped you in some way to understand the mathematical jagbajanties that is causing yamyamalysis. 1 Like |

brytandre:i get you my friend buh that bracket already gives 0 from what he did, is sayin (10-10)/(10-10) = 0/0 = 1 ........ Can u see wer the fault is nw. When u simplify the numerator and denominator by opening brackets, it is supposed to be equal to when you collect any terms and bracket them up. But in this case its not so. |

0/0= error, no answer 10-10/10-10 is not one but no unique answer (10+10/10) ×(10-10/10-10) = no unique slot follow the rules but I admire your ingenuity from: prof of mathematics |

jstriker442: I understand u well. From a BODMAS point of view, that bracket MUST be opened, and it ruins everything But from an algebraic point of view, leave it as it is (since it has a like term) and cancel out. That's wat he did. I argued with @logica that BODMAS is negligible in some maths, can u see wat I mean? Would it help in this case? Not at all 1 Like |

Guys, there is a reason its called difference of two squares and not difference of same squares. a^2 - b^2 = (a+b) (a-b) a^2 - a^2 = (a+a) (a-a) = 0. a at any given time cannot be equal to b or d rule is void. The genius simply disobeyed the rules when he figured in that principle to his proof. 1 Like |

I've been laughing at people's comments here. While some have given valid answers, others still see this little piece as a puzzle. The answer is UNDEFINED! 0/0 can be any number (real or complex), provided you guided by a set of constraints within a feasible solution space. 1 Like |

beto2gbaski: Or u didn't get the English Difference is the - Two squares: a^2 and b^2 Difference of two squares is a^2 - b^2 E.g what's the difference of 4 and 2. Soln: 4-2 = 2. So there is no ruling disputing whether they could be equal or not. They are just squares. So a can be equal to b. Thanks |

@all. I wonder why some people who claimed to have studied mathematics said the steps are wrong. Common, they are right. The only wrong thing that made everything wrong is that... He started out with ASSUMPTIONS Therefore it is a MUST he proves that the CONVERSE is true. Now, can the person who proved that go ahead to proof that 2 = 0/0? Mind you, it is not by reversing the steps, it is about using the opposite of the assumption he had used earlier. Real Analyst in the room should understand this better. Good 9t 1 Like |
