im not a math genious. i just do not belive you guys. i need a "facts guy". i dont know how to prove you wrong, but im sure someone can dig up some facts to back me up. SOMEONE HELP ME OUT PLEASE!!!
Lucy, I'm with you. POWERFUL ROFLMAOWPIMP, tears streaming down my cheeks. Wonderful comment ! Nimrod you are beautiful. .
ok death here's proof take a candy ok? now take another one ok? good so now you have 2 it means that you had 1+1 and got2 so candy+candy= 2 candies a + a = 2a could it be anymore simple??? if you're still not satisfied than just forget about it
I was going to explain why it doesn't work but it seems everyone has beaten me too it! My maths teacher showed me this last year sometime.
yes they do act the same, what do you even mean by act???? if two thing are equal then you can replace them and shift them as you wish because it makes no difference
true, my friend came up with a very similar proof then proved himself wrong i was the only one to catch it, even his dad who is good at math dident catch it. by the way im a total dumb ass when it comes to math. either way we asked our physics teacher to see if she would catch it, she dident even look past step 2 and was like it will never be posible and that was that.
i want to tell you a story infinite = unusable number = invalid number same thing, just words referring to different aspects of the value. infinite actually refers to set of numbers, and the number of components within is indefinable. infinite implies that it is impossible because it no longer has any relative value. if you imagine a block of wood 10 metres long, and cut sections 5 metres long, the number of block you would have is 10/5 = 2. the smaller the section is, the more pieces you can get out of the block. but there will always be a certain number, which you can determine by dividing 10 by the length of block that you will cut out. therefor if you keep getting smaller pieces, you will yield more blocks, but with any value you put, you will get ana nswer unless you put 0 as teh length of block because then there is theoretically no limit to the amount of lbocks you can cut since 10 - 0 = 10. 10 - 0*k = 10 (where k is any value), there will always be more block to cut these theoretical sections, but as we can see, there is no actual way to cut the segments into a length of 0, thus the segment length is invalid (impossible), and hence the number of segments is also invalid/impossible in this real world sense. 10/0 = 100/0 = 74,938/0 = .5/0 = 1/0 = an invalid value = infinite quantity/measure = cannot be split into finite parts (since taking away parts of value 0 yields no change in total value) = indefinable value theyre all the same blocks
This link explains it through a very similar equation. http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55792.html
