I got this proof today in gemoetry. Try to figure out why it doesn't work. Very interesting...
Let a=b
Multiply both by a: a²=ab
Add a² to both sides: a²+a²=a²+ab
Simplify: 2a²=a²+ab
Subtract 2ab from both sides: 2a²-2ab=a²+ab-2ab
Simplify:2a²-2ab=a²-ab
Divide by (a²-ab):2=1
Have fun figuring it out.

I may be just being a dumbass (Im just about to take math 099 ) but

2a²-2ab

I dont think you can subract a variable from another variable...jus t a thought.

[MeZmoriZe]

Let a=b

1) In this case, I'll be using 1=1.

Multiply both by a: a²=ab

2) 1(1)=1(1)

Add a² to both sides: a²+a²=a²+ab

3) Since 1 squared is 1, add 1 to both sides.
1+1=1+1

Simplify: 2a²=a²+ab

4) 2=1+1

Subtract 2ab from both sides: 2a²-2ab=a²+ab-2ab

5) 2(1)(1) equals 2.
2-2=1+1-2

Simplify:2a²-2ab=a²-ab

6) 2-2=1-1

Divide by (a²-ab):2=1

7) Since a squared minus a times b isn't what we're using.  We will just simplify one more time.
0=0

I hope thats the answer you were looking for.  Don't you just love substitution?

You could have done it that way...but assuming a^2=ass and ab=piss

What is the final solution?

A book written by Hitler. Duh.

Programmer_One']A book written by Hitler. Duh.

The only book hitler ever wrote was "Mein Kampf!" which is my life or my story (I believe), the final solution to the Juden problemme! was just an idea.

Good idea or bad idea, you decide (if you decide bad idea you will be put in a death...er friendly work camp!)

[[DOA] Programmer_One]

Yeah, you're right.

However, Mein Kampf means "My Struggle".

Can someone buy me a copy of that book or what

The problem lies in the statement Divide by a²-ab.  We've assumed that a=b, so the statement is really Divide by a²-a² = 0.  And division by 0 is undefined.

Chuck Norris can divide by 0.

[Rahl]

And Chuckie would be flat ass wrong.  Damn black belts think they know everything.

[*MAFIA* KrautKiller]

Wow....I tryed to figure out what a=b was and I gave up lol

[HaVoK]

I should post my homework problems on here sometime and have you guys figure them out also.  Not because they are hard, but merely because you guys will obviously do his homework so you will do mine also.

P.s. I'm lazy.

[*MAFIA* KrautKiller]

Homework is for losers!

[MadMedic]

Passing is for losers too?
