Let a = b Multiply both sides by a a² = ab Add (a² - 2ab) to both sides a² + a² - 2ab = ab + a² - 2ab Factor the left, and collect like terms on the right. 2(a² - ab) = a² - ab Divide both sides by (a² - ab) 2 = 1  _______________ Get busy living, or get busy dying. |

heh, I get different  Let a = b Multiply both sides by a a² = ab Add (a² - 2ab) to both sides a² + a² - 2ab = ab + a² - 2ab Solve equations 2a² - 2ab = a² - ab Swap sides: a² = ab Substitute: 2 x 2 = 2 x 2 Divide both sides by 2 2 = 2 Ok, 4 x 4 = 1? You get 4 pieces of playdough, mash em together with 4 other pieces. While the volume of the first initial 4 is 4 times the volume, there is still only 1 piece of dough in the end. - There's maths for ya _______________ Poynts Darkside or whatever First to his beverage This comment was edited by [DJK]Konar on Sep 25 2003 10:21am. |

That's the point Talle. It makes people think its correct because they miss obvious math functions such as that. They just look through and say "OMG how is that possible?" And they don't take the time to look for the obvious mistake that make the solution incorrect. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

sqrt(1) =1 but also the sqrt(1) = -1. So your math equation is not true. to be true one of your sqrt(1)'s would be -1 and then you would have a true solution. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

i = sqrt(-1) Now -1 = -1/1 = 1/(-1) so... sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(1/(-1)) = sqrt(-1/1) By properties of radicals: sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1)/sqrt(1) sqrt(1) * sqrt(1) = sqrt(-1) * sqrt(-1) 1 * 1 = i * i 1 = -1 _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Buzz is completely right. We had this little problem on school. The point is you devide an unknown factor, and that factor can take the form of 0. And if that is the case you can't devide. _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue. Owner of the 1000th comment of Daidalus and 1943th comment of Gradius!
