0/0=2 proof

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=100-100/100-100 =10*10 - 10*10/10*10 - 10*10 =10^2 - 10^2/10(10-10) =(10+10)(10-10)/10(10-10) =(10+10)/10 =20/10 =2

Fourth line, you divide by 0.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm, 4th line is actually ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{(10+10)\cancel{(10-10)}}{10\cancel{(10-10)}}\\ \cfrac{10+10)}{10}\) so that's ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, the short answer will be, the procedural part is correct, the answer is extraneous

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I'm losing faith in math and every we know about the universe xD

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

everything*

@jdoe0001, but then you would have \(\dfrac{10-10}{10-10}=\dfrac{0}{0}=1\), and not 2 (unless you want to show that 1=2 as well). Anyway, here's a similar "proof" with a reason why it doesn't work. http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10001.1-8.shtml
