Posted March 19, 200619 yr Assume x =1 so x2=1 because 1*1 =1 so x2=x so x2-1 = x-1 so (x+1)( x-1)=(x-1) because I factorized the left side and just bracketed the right so (x+1)=1 because I divided both sides by (x-1) so (1+1)=1 so 2=1 (this thing can't cope with superscripts so you'll have to assume x2 is x*x) I know its pretty preschool but I still found it quite confusing until I figured it out) (sorry wrong forum)
March 20, 200619 yr wut edit: wut edit: :thinker: edit: Okay, i'm not that stupid, but these sorts of problems in g0t flames section? WUT? :ugh:

Assume x =1 so x^2=1 because 1*1 =1 so x^2=x so x^2-1 = x-1 so (x+1)( x-1)=(x-1) because I factorized the left side and just bracketed the right so (x+1)=1 because I divided both sides by (x-1) so (1+1)=1 so 2=1
March 20, 200619 yr Assume x =1 so x2=1 because 1*1 =1 X=1 X2 = X TIMES 2 = 1 = BULLSHIT Btw figure this one out: Assume x = stfu assume x2 = you assume x3 = happy assume X4 = bai If X2 would X then we'd all be X3, gg thx X4. ??

Lets assume you didn't take any sort of math class after 5th grade so you wouldn't get what he is talking about.

He explained that he couldn't use subscripts so x2 is x times x you fucking idiot not 2x Congratulations on winning the retard trophy
March 20, 200619 yr He explained that he couldn't use subscripts so x2 is x times x you fucking idiot not 2x Congratulations on winning the retard trophy Thanks but 9 posts isn't enough to award me plox.
March 20, 200619 yr Thanks but 9 posts isn't enough to award me plox. I have enough posts. HAPPY NOW?!! ??!1++111

March 20, 200619 yr Heres a rough proof of why it's wrong x=1 x^2=x 1*1=1 still fair (x^2)-1=x-1 (1*1)-1=1 still fair (x-1)(x+1)=(x-1) (1+1)(1-1)=(1-1) or 2(0)=0 (x+1)=1 uh oh you just divided by 0. This is where the problem goes wrong 2=1 and this is the result of the bad math.
March 20, 200619 yr Thanks but 9 posts isn't enough to award me plox. I have plenty enough posts to award you, except those accounts are banned so I can't use them so you'll just have to make do with this one.

March 21, 200619 yr i got an idea, lets change the topic to something flame-related... MATH IS GAY /AGREE?
March 21, 200619 yr heres why you're proof is wrong x = 1 (ok) x ^ 2 = 1 (ok) x ^ 2 = x (ok) x ^ 2 - 1 = x - 1 (ok) (x + 1)(x - 1) = x - 1 (ok) (x + 1)(x - 1) / (x - 1) = x - 1 (WRONG. x - 1 = 0, since x = 1) so (x+1) * 0 / 0 = x - 1 0 / 0 = x - 1 note that 0 / 0 is indeterminate. Therefore proof is invalid.

Therefore proof is invalid. Correct, if this was a limit problem with x^2 - 1=x-1, with lim x ->1, we could remove the discontinuity, but very good explanation regardless.
