__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 basically the answer is worth 50 pts for my class. which is alot... so here's the question... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if a=b, then/proves 2=1 a = b -b -b a-b = b-b a-1 = 0 (a-b)+(a-b) = 0+(a-b) 2(a-b) = (a-b) _____ _____ (a-b) (a-b) 2 = 1 the underscores is the overthen/dividing. so i told him that from the beginning it was wrong, if a=b, then a should = to 1 and b should = 1. or a=2 n b=2. he said that's obvious, we know 2 cant = 1. he said that one step is illegal, not allowed in the rules. he wouldnt even tell us the method or formula or w.e he was using... so yea. im completely lost ..

R_Mac_1 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I think it's 2(a-B )/(a-B ) = (a-B )/(a-B ) Because if a=b, then a-b = 0 You can't divide by zero Edited January 13, 2010 by R_Mac_1 Quote 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" components (active) Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown z15 (3 cubes @ 35 hz) Sundown SAX-1200D 2006 Buick Rainier CXL AWD V8 Stock Bose system 12" Alpine Type E in aeroported box Profile AP1000M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glpg80 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I think it's 2(a-B )/(a-B ) = (a-B )/(a-B ) Because if a=b, then a-b = 0 You can't divide by zero yeah this is correct, same thing i got out of it anyway. b/c if you do it properly you get to a step where its a-b=0 in the algebra which would make the statement 1=0 which is common sense based - not true. so its a derivative question 2*1 = 1, where the 1's come from (2-1)=1 ---------- (2-1)=1 which equals 1/1=1. and we all know 2*(1/1)=2, and 1*(1/1) = 1 Edited January 13, 2010 by glpg80 Quote ah, you mean the peas? It puts it into perspective. Just imagine a stadium filled to the top with peas. Sounds like one hell of a soup lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugdub Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think it's 2(a-B )/(a-B ) = (a-B )/(a-B ) Because if a=b, then a-b = 0 You can't divide by zero This is where I got too... the rest seemed pretty much worthless info.. but is the answer ever this simple?
