Very Creative I tell you.... So students in the house.... You can use it to challenge ur teachers

So_fucking wrong. Why would you prove like a goat

Use it to challenge your lecturer and see what comes out at the end of the semester.

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
May vice elementals from the seventh heavens strike the next person that quotes me with madness

mathematically correct, scientifically wrong

Mathematically correct .....I love the stance on negating status quo.

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

*Modified

Nothing wrong with the expansion, it's what happens with the resulting brackets that is the bone of contention.

acrobatic defence

you can actually know that this is a Nigerian by the colour of the detached ruled page from an exercise book.

Bros, you fall my hand.

Did you do maths at all?

Unfortunately, you my friend, seems to be the dullard

Nice..

The mathematical principles applied were TOTALLY correct.

I would not fail this student if I were the teacher...

Jumbledwords:

10^2 - 10^2 = (10 + 10)(10-10) is very correct.

In mathematics, it is called 'Difference of two squares'


If you doubt, try simplifying the right hand side of the equation

Creative but wrong.
I could arrive @ 1 by doing the following... (10+10)(10-10) / (10+10)(10-10) =1

my man, you cannot jump out of thin air and claim my hypothesis is incorrect without providing another to take it's place. Or are you claiming that the solution in the OP is correct, if so, then u're another dullard

Mathematicaly correct.
BUT......
Rules of mathematics applied are absolutely correct

Am impressed honeslty

Hell Wrong

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

Lie!!.. Maths rule weren't followed .. Anything divided by 0 is straight indefinite! (∞)

godofOrijin:

(10+10)(10-10) / (10+10)(10-10)
=1

True!

10(1+1)/10(1+1)

=2/2 = 1


I guess, we can prove and disprove mathematics theories as much as we want which shows that maths is not finite.


I ire the guy 's reasoning ability but he flawed when he didn't apply the same mode of expansion to the numerator and the denominator.
1 is a better answer

Explain how you came about the '-1'

He applied the rule: 'Difference of two squares'

(a^2 - b^2) = (a + b) (a - b)

wonda26:

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

Tinkybabe:

True!

10(1+1)/10(1+1)

=2/2 = 1

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.

wonda26:

10^2 - 10^2 = (10 + 10)(10-10) is very correct.

In mathematics, it is called 'Difference of two squares'


If you doubt, try simplifying the right hand side of the equation

Yeah, but it was at the point of expansion that the whole solution took a nosedive

Lol, the funny thing is, if I interchange how the denominator was expressed with the numerator, I'll get 1/2 which technically will be correct as well (based on the proof)

Tinkybabe:

True!

10(1+1)/10(1+1)

=2/2 = 1

I'm guessing this was what you did:
(10+10)(10-10) / (10+10)(10-10)= [10(1+1)] [10(1-1)]/ [10(1+1)] [10(1-1)]

There's still a "bracket function" yet to be executed which will reduce your final result to zero when that happens

Total bullshit, d first equation already negates the whole tin, anything divided by 0 is infinity

Very wrong. 1 would be been a more provable answer

wonda26:

He applied the rule: 'Difference of two squares'

(a^2 - b^2) = (a + b) (a - b)

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

This actual got me laughing.... Try with 50... Taaar

wonda26:

He applied the rule: 'Difference of two squares'

(a^2 - b^2) = (a + b) (a - b)

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.
