This is numerical illusion at play. The OP violated the rule of diffrence of two squares. Now watch it......... If there exists a,b such that a not equal to b Then a^2 - b^2 =( a + b )(a - b ) When a = b Then a^2 - b^2 = a^2 - a^2 = b^2 - b^2 = 0 hence diffence of two squares holds IFF a is not equal b Did u notice IFF. In mathematics it is voked as if and only if. Do guys watch closely at the OP's steps 10^2 - 10^2. Cannot be treated as diffrence of two squares. This is same procedure normally used by illusionists for performance. Using what you already know....to bring about what you DON'T know Through an unknown bypass realm.... Most times this unknown realms are usually what you rightly know but being used to manipulate your mind in the not so right medium. This is not open for debate Its a fact ! Listen,observe and be silent |

I admire the reasoning of that young fellow. However, difference of two squares doesn't hold here because (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b) but (a^2-a^2) CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE EQUAL TO (a+a)(a-a) because the CONVERSE, ie the reverse is not true; it will give 0 and not (a^2-a^2) Hence, his/her hypothesis is ABSOLUTELY wrong. |

brytandre:jst lyk i said, u can ignore or better still skip bodmas if and only if the equation when simplified of expanded is equal e.g (100)-(100)/(200) = (25-5)5-(25-5)5 / (25-5)10 = 5-5/10. ........ Since (5*4) is common, it cancels out. So my friend MATHS=BODMAS. If u can prove a solution that is not backd by BODMAS, i'd lyk 2 see it, buh as it stands, if we expand, canceling out (10-10)/(10-10) = 1 is incorrect but from my own equation above, (25-5)/(25-5) = 1. The terms used are knwn so i tink resolution b4 cancelation. And 10+10(0)/10(0) = ....can u cancel out the zeros in this case Jst try and read this through get ur calculator, pen and paper out. We'd all learn sumtin new. |

brunofarad: I'm very interested in knowing where u got this your definition bro. Stating categorically with IFF that a must not be equal to b. The fact that u even used the word "Rules" makes for a raised brow, did u study Maths? Definition should have been used instead, and please, in as much as I hate to write this, there is no such rule. Difference of two squares has no constraint. Sorry. His use of it is valid Google it if u av doubts. Thanks 1 Like |

d4Dave: And y can't it In Maths the equality sign is a strict symbol when a=b, in algebra, b=a...(Unless in geometric or mapping situations thereabout) simple arithmetic 100-100= 0, means 0 can also be 100-100....or whatever u imagine it to be (5-5, 10-10, 2-2) so the reverse is the case. I'm sure u know 1 can also be 100^0 (indices).....and conversely So please. He is right. 1 Like |

Ok so ..... Final Verdict.. ANY NUMBER DIVIDED BY ZERO IS INDETERMINATE. (An already documented rule in Mathematics) meaning it can be any number from minus infinity to plus infinity. so 0/0 =2 is correct since it obeys the above mathematical rule. 3 Likes |

jstriker442: My friend. He has already done the expansion using complete the square method 100-100 = 10(10+10) - 10 (10+10) = (10+10) (10-10) Or (10+10) x (10-10) If u solve this quadratic equation, it will get u back to 100-100. From ur equation (25-5)5 - (25-5)5 If am to express it further, will give (25-5) x (5-5)......can u see that both 5's outside the bracket has been enclosed in one themselves? It is at this stage u can cancel out. (25-5) x (5-5) / (25-5) 10 = (5-5)/10 BODMAS was not applied, was it? 1 Like |

I don't know of u people But In mathematics that I know If you have to rigorously and satisfactorily prove X = y The prove has to be convincingly commutative That is You will show that x = y And conversely You also show that y = x Now OP Can you kindly prove to us that 2 = 0/0 Only then can this mathematical analysis be considered satisfactory.

brunofarad: Okay then. As for the reverse equation. If u really studied physics and maths at tertiary level (at 200level or above).....you will know that reversing all he has done is simply it! I.E 2 = 20/10.......isn't it? 20/10 = (10+10)/10........are we there? Now multiply both numerator and denominator by (10-10)..........still there? 20/10 = (10+10) (10-10) / 10(10-10)......u get it? Expanding the equation 20/10 = 10^2 - 10^2 / 10^2 - 10^2 2= 20/10 = 0/0.......proved! What he did is Cummutative......very correct! Thanks. 1 Like |

jstriker442: Easy already. 0/0 can also equal 1....remember it is undefined (can take any value) Every other person take note of this: lemme take this to another dimension U can use a calculator 0.0000000000000000000000000000001/0.0000000000000000000000000000001 = 1 But If u add both, ur calculator will tell u 0....some may represent it in standard form (e.g 1 x 10^ -30), add any number and u'll see it will give u that same number cos it 'll seemingly approx the standard form number to zero. Y? The concept of 0 as a number denotes it is a very very small number so close to being "non-existent"......even within 1second, there are uncountable micro-seconds to the next. The dreams u av at night happens some few seconds before u wake up fully, yet it would seem u've been dreaming all night long. So u could have 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002/0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 = 2 ............e.t.c To really understand how all these works, u need to have studied Maths in higher institution (200level and above). So if we say 0/0 is undefined and could be any number, its simply two very large standard form numbers concelling out each other to produce a number equal or less than or greater than 1. Quote me if u think otherwise. |

brytandre:i get u nw my friend u saying (10-10) would give a value not equal to zero, but can be approximated to zero. I.e 2 say maths makes assumptions. And if i have 2 mangoes and i throw 2 away, do i have some approximations left Approximations are made when d value is too small and is negligible in the calculations used. So u finding the distance from planets, and u get some million light years and fractions. These fractions could represent km u knw, but it can be approx since we dealing with sumthin large. Nw y do we have milli and micro quantities. These aim @ precise calculations where needed. Nw ans these; hw many zero's are in '1',,,,,,,, hw many 0000000000.1 are in 1,,,,, 10-10= ,,,,,,,, 10.000000001-10 = ............... When you say sumthin is undefined, it means cant have a sane value kind off i.e cant be represented. if 000000000000000.1 = 0 then multiply both sides of the equation with (10^20) if you get zero on both sides i'd leave ma sch nw and come learn 4rm you. And have it in mind both sides must be equal. |
