    Default Find the mistake :)

    Hey there !

    Here is a (very) easy enigma Find out the problem xD

    We firstly fix :
    X=1 and by definition, X = X (Don't tell me you don't understand ._.)
    <=> X² = X² (square)
    <=> X² - X² = X² - X² (subtract X²)
    <=> X(X - X) = (X + X)(X - X) (Factorize, Note that a²-a²=a(a-a), and that a²-b²=(a+b)(a-b))
    <=> X = X + X (Simplify)
    <=> X = 2 X (addition)
    <=> 1 = 2 (because X = 1)

    1=2 ?? OMGG .____.

    If you can't find the reason why it is buggy, click on the spoiler

     


    The problem comes from those 2 lines :
    <=> X(X - X) = (X + X)(X - X) (Factorize)
    <=> X = X + X (Simplify)

    Indeed, you simplify dividing by (X-X), which is equal to zero, which is IMPOSSIBLE



    Hehe
    Hope you liked x)

    If I see this right X+X doesnt simplify to X (unless X was 0)

    I don't know if X (X - X) = (X + X) (X - X) o_O?

    Because one side is x2 - x 2 while the other is 2x...

    I missed the first line but i got the second line right. The only way you can get 2X I think is by doing X*X, not X+X. Right?

    Why not? :O

    take x=2, it makes
    2(2-2) = 0
    and
    (2+2)(2-2) =0
    so 2(2-2)=(2+2)(2-2) ._.

    Do it with a and b if you prefer

    a²-a²=a(a-a) (a is factorized) = (a*a)-(a*a) (developed) = a²-a² so a²-a²=a(a-a)
    a²-b²=(a+b)(a-b) (that's a rules, you can develop it to be sure of it)
    so you have
    a(a-a) = (a+a)(a-a) so X (X - X) = (X + X) (X - X)

    The first line :O..

    X=X.. it's as if you were saying 10000=10000 (it's an useless line)

    In addition, you just state that X=1.

    Quote Originally Posted by ultimaga95 View Post

    Eh, X*X = X² and X+X = 2X
    Take X=4
    4*4 = 4²=16 and 4+4=8 which isn't 16

    Oh.. Integrals and three-dimensional vectors .. Old days .. I just didn't think anyone would understand integrals on forums lul

    This "demonstration" shows you why dividing by 0 is impossible : it would make incoherences such as 1=2
    At the end, you get X=2X, and you stated that X=1 so basically, 1=2x1=2, which is impossible

    You could show (X+X)(X-X), which gets X^2+X^2-X^2-X^2=0

    And so X(X-X)=0, which you can check by first solving in the parenthesis, X-X=0. Then X(0)=0, so 0=0 which means that the incorrect portion is the X(X-X)=(X+)(X-X) in which it just ends there, there are no 1s or 2s.

    I don't understand what you mean :O

    Oh you forgot an X

    X(X-X)=((X+X)(X-X)

    Well, It isn't incorrect o.O

    take x=2, it makes
    2(2-2) = 0
    and
    (2+2)(2-2) =0
    so 2(2-2)=(2+2)(2-2)

    You can write it, even if it isn't usual.. It is true

    10000000*0 = 3402334302994029042*0 = 0*0 = 1*0 ._.

    My bad on the X, was typing quickly.

    And if you can say that, X doesn't equal 2, it equals all real numbers.

    I see what I did wrong. (x+x) (x-x) is 2x timessss 0. My brain shut down and thought there was a + in the middle of the two. (x-x) gives 0 and 2x x 0 = 0.

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?
    Oh, wait... No need to practice. iHax.
