Oops I broke the laws of math. - Page 3

ok ok let me articulate what a ton of you have been trying to say

√x * √y = √xy

this property only holds when neither is negative OR one of them is negative

only in the case where BOTH are negative is this illegal

Hey stargroup, you should read the first chapter of Hardy's Divergent Series book. And more if you want but the first chapter is pretty snazzy.

Proof 5 is just dumb lol...

**cetaka** · 10-18-2009, 06:05 PM

they are all dumb. every one of them

except the sixth one which is just marginally stupid

bluguerrilla · 10-18-2009, 06:09 PM

It's just more cool when you do something that seems wrong but you get a result that's true but can't figure out why it worked (or why it should work). Or more infuriating.

2 + 2 = 5

**A2P** · 10-18-2009, 06:12 PM

I think there's a problem with your math. How did you go from step 1 to step 2? I don't get it.

Subtracting 1?

Haha, funny stuff.

Took me a while to get 7; we just started series in our calc class.

MrRubix · 10-18-2009, 07:06 PM

I am tempted to throw down ".999... = 1" just to see people argue over it, as always.

masuat · 10-18-2009, 07:09 PM

**** it I barely even understand the stuff in my calculus class

1/3 = .33333 (repeating)

So technically, .999999999 (repeating) does equal 1.

End of discussion, lmao

somewhere out there someone wrote this very very cool thing where he proves that in like 10 different ways and counters every counter argument possible

I need to find it

MrRubix · 10-18-2009, 07:16 PM

It's called not being retarded

**DossarLX ODI** · 10-18-2009, 07:18 PM

It's called not being a noob like Mister Noobix

stargroup · 10-18-2009, 07:23 PM

haydenwho · 10-18-2009, 07:37 PM
