WOW GUYS!!! Either I am retarded or not! Global issue!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Is ZERO a perfect square according to the definition. In http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52b34512e4b03e81ff95426c I was told not so.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

umm: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090304094401AAe8I0g 0 is not a perfect square.

OpenStudy (ttp):

@SolomonZelman Your defiently not Retarded! :)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Some people consider is to be some don't, 0 * 0 = 0 so I do think its a perfect root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman your not retarded but 0 is not a perfect square :D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

WHAT? I still can't believe that zero is not a perfect square

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

@SolomonZelman is the smartest guy i know so def no t retarded..

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ty, @undeadknight26 , wish that was true...

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

oi oi oi...you should stop saying things like that...

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

lol idk when I look at it from one point it does seem like a perfect square and from another point of view I don't think its a perfect root. ;~;

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah @SolomonZelman gets all my questions right with excellent explanations so yeah the only way he could be retorted is if we had something where the whole damn world reversed and the retarded people became smart and all the smart people became retarded

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Wouldn't it be just like saying \[Log_ii=1\](before reading the previous reply)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

There would be more smart people then loll xD

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Haha!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

But for real, I never though that zero....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha good one @tHe_FiZiCx99

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

basically. equal, but false

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I think that 4 of 10 people are good at math, the rest quit because they don't understand it. .. and yes that's whats confusing >.> it does equal yet its false ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see its a perfect square but its not because the definition of a perfect square says that it has to be a positive number lol

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yup, enter -9 into a calculator and square it >.> won't let you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A perfect square is a number that has a whole number as its square root. (I.e. X^2 is equal to X times X) Some examples of perfect squares are: 1, since 1 x 1 = 1 4, since 2 x 2 = 4 9, since 3 x 3 = 9 16, since 4 x 4 = 16 etc. We cannot write 0, 0 X 0 = 0. So, Zero is not a perfect square. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060915064245AAyESuZ

OpenStudy (alyssajobug):

No, not a perfect square and your definatly not, you help me ALL THE TIME!

OpenStudy (alyssajobug):

0 x 0 is 0 tho... it just isnt...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah math is screwed up in that way sometimes I wish it wasn't my strength lol its so confutheling

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[0^2\]makes no sense, that's the point I think.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I think its because 0 can't be negative or positive, so it can't be considered a perfect root.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Think of a number line, its in the middle :>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but if its not negative or positive then it can because its not negative... but then its not positive lol

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Tis what I mean.. its confusing but ehh like I'll ever use 0 as a root :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah math... math... why?! Why must you do this to us lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as i told in your old post its not but still British maths society considers it

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yeah, inapplicable, sqrt(0) I know, what If I were to say that \[\sqrt{3-4i}\]is a perfect square, being that \[3-4i=4-4i-1\]\[\sqrt{4-4i-1}=-2+i\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Anyway, ZERO is NOT a perfect square....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Case closed! and ZERO... you suck

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ty for telling me that I...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww come on lol

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yesh yesh :) feel better ♥

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{magenta }{ ♥ }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi here is another challenge tell whats 0/0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

=0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[CHECK:~~~~~~0~\times~0~=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dear it undifined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{blue}{\huge {\bbox[5pt,cyan,border:2px solid purple]{~*~~‿~•~}}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as how many times 0 is 0 0X1=0X2=0X3.........so on so u can get all values for it from 0 to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all going to be zero anything multiplied or divided by 0 is 0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{blue}{ ( } \huge\color{magenta}{ ~ ♥ ~ } \huge\color{blue}{ ‿ } \huge\color{magenta}{ ~ ♥ ~ } \huge\color{blue}{ ) } \]

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

anything times 0 is 0 .. and + 0 will be the same, it applies for division, though you can't divide by 0.. and subtraction too

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No, I say \[0~\div~0~=~ 0\]\[CHECK:~~~~~~0~\times~0~=0\]VERIFIED

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zero beats every number in multiplication and division he has the power but in addition and subtraction poor zero gets slapped around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here comes another chalange 0/infinity :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equals 0 @harpreetsk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no matter war 0 wins even infinity can't take him on

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

0 can be used to manipulate equations tho.. you can't divide by 0 you nubs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah you can watch f you take 0 and divide by 100, what would you get? If you take 0 and divide by 1000, what would you get? If you take 0 and divide by 10000, what would you get? And so on. Regardless of what large number we're dividing by our answer is 0 and by letting this large number increase (as much as we please, tending to infinity) the answer is still 0. Thus the 'answer' to your question is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaaa u got it right but acce this infinity/infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one @harpreetsk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how not any number divided by itself is going to equal one @harpreetsk

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes\[∞/∞~~~~~just~~~like~~~~a/a,~~~~~~is~=~1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

precisely @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

1? because any number divided by itself is 1..lol this debate form

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[Log_∞x\]

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

my poor notification feed...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[logx/Log∞\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even though we can't fully grasp infinity we still know that infinity divided by itself is 1

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

what grade are you guys in? >.<

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

or what about just \[Log_{10}∞\]regular base, and log of ∞

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinity is not a unit like 1 metre, 1 pound, 1 dollar 1/2=1+1+1+…/2+2+2+…=(1+1)+(1+1)+…/2+2+2+…=2+2+2+…2+2+2+…=1. Hence such division is undefined. Any value could be assigned to it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the rule of Multiplication states that ANY number divided by itself is equivalent to ONE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12th

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[Log~~off~~∞\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

12th, me too.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

wouldn't 1 be undefined though?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[1=0/0=undefined\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

thread is starting to lag, what grade are ya in solomon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know Im loving this argument its like the best thing ever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2=0/0 undifined too lol

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Nerds4Lyfe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi on fb?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

every number is undefined!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

indeed awesome!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEAH!

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I just woke up lol xD I i can barely think straight doing math.. though doing math builds excitement for me hahaa .. I'ma die alone.. U_U

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Just woke up, I live in Atlanta GA, and it's 3:16 where I am.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean Just woke up? I live in Atlanta GA, and it's 3:16 where I am.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

math is the best thing to start an argument about! :D I'm so happy doing this its fun

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sure

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

-1 is a perfect square too.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Its negative, its 3 18 for meh

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[-1=i^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1:18 for meh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it 1:48 here in india........ @SolomonZelman -1 is not as per defination it must be postive no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah no negative number can be a perfect square @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

just like 0
