Oops I broke the laws of math.
When someone fixes the proof I'll post another one in which I break the laws again.
P.S. If you think this is too easy for you don't ruin it for others. Let them figure it out. Proof 1: 3=2 -6 = -6 9 - 15 = 4 - 10 9 + (25/4) - 15 = 4 + (25/4) - 10 (3 - 5/2)(3 - 5/2) = (2 - 5/2)(2 - 5/2) (3 - 5/2)² = (2 - 5/2)² 3 - 5/2 = 2 - 5/2 3 = 2 Proof 2: 2=1 a = b a² = ab a² - b² = ab - b² (a - b)(a + b) = b (a - b) a + b = b 2b = b 2 = 1 Proof 3: 1=-1 -1 = -1 1/-1 = -1/1 √(1/-1) = √(-1/1) √1 / √-1 = √-1 / √1 √1 * √1 = √-1 * √-1 √1 = √-1 1 = -1 Alternate version of Proof 3: 1 = √1 = √(-1)(-1) = √-1 * √-1 = -1 Proof 4: 0=1 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ... 0 = (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + ... 0 = 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + ... 0 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ... 0 = 1 Proof 5: 1=0 x = 1 (d/dx) x = (d/dx) 1 1 = 0 Proof 6: 2=1 x² = x * x = x + x + x + x ... (x times) (d/dx) x² = (d/dx) x + x + x + x ... (x times) 2x = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ... (x times) 2x = x 2 = 1 Proof 7: Sum of all positive integers is negative. S = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + ... A = 1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - ... S-A = (1-1) + (2-(-2)) + (3-3) + (4-(-4)) + ... = 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + ... = 4S S+A = (1+1) + (2+(-2)) + (3+3) + (4+(-4)) + ... = 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 + ... = 2 + (4+2) + (8+2) + (12+2) + ... = 4S + (2+2+2+2+...) (S-A) + (S+A) = 2S = 8S + (2+2+2+2+...) -6S = (2+2+2+2+...) S = (-1/6)(2+2+2+2+...) Mind blown yet?

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.
So do you actually want us to point out the flaw in this or not?

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.
Yeah, it's kinda easy. At least it's a bit harder to see than the popular 2=1 trick. I'll leave others to figure it out then. These are still kinda fun to look at IMO

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.
9 + (25/4) - 15 = 4 + (25/4) - 10
(3 - 5/2)(3 - 5/2) = (2 - 5/2)(2 - 5/2) where did the -15 and -10 go? |

2(-5/2) + 2(-5/2) = -10 FOIL it to see he just put it in factor form

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.
