1+1=4

I don't know why you find a=b wrong :/
eg. If we have y=ax for a=1 then y=x. I hope I made myself clear lol
Anyway, there IS a mistake I can tell you. And I'm pretty sure it is the only mistake in this theory, because it was analyzed by teachers in a Greek university (yes I'm Greek :)) and they found no other error on the theory. :///

 

1 DOES NOT equal 2. and 1+1=2. PWNED!

 

Yeah but that's only if a=1. ONLY. so y most likely does not equal x...

And you can tell us now anyways...Unless you don't want to say it out loud just PM me...

 

This is simple math.

Sure, if you WANT 1 to equal 2 then that's more considered a variable.

But 1 + 1 = 4, ONLY if you do a more advanced form of Mathematics.

So likewise, your equation is ONLY correct because it was manipulated by variables. a is a variable, and so is b. But you made 1 seem like a variable too. :/

 

only if 1 is a variable. which u never said it was

 

How Is 1 a variable, 1 is 1

A variable is a letter.

 

that's what i was getting at. it's NOT a variable which means it doesn't work. IF it was a variable, THEN it would work.

 

sure you can come up with that conclusion. But you have to go through and check it, And by the way wats >?

 

> = Greater than.

So, 4 > 2, 4 is greater than 2.

 

1 + 1 =2.

thats good

 

The answer

The problem is the step where he divides both sides by (a-b)
a=b so
(a-b)=0
and since you cannot divide by 0 the logic is fundamentally flawed

in this case he said that (a-b)/(a-b)=1
which is the same as 0/0=1 which is not true.

QED

The problem here is a fairly common misconception that I myself had for a while. The belief that

squareroot(a+b)=squareroot(a)+squareroot(b)

put in context:

49+144=193

squareroot(49+144)=squareroot(193)
or
squareroot(193)=squareroot(193)

not
squareroot(49)+squareroot(144)=squareroot(193)
which is not true

although

squareroot(a x b)=squareroot(a) x squareroot(b)


Sorry to nicklamda and Shadow

 

Um, that all confused me, and 2nd, Does this really matter?

 

no it doesn't matter. it doesn't change the fact that 1+1=2. NOT 4

 

Hmm i can't find it i dont like math but i study it any ways.
