2+2 = 2+2+0

correct? right.

Now according to Robins Lemma proof
Let x be a non-zero number, and set y=x. Thus:


x = y
x^2 = xy
x^2-y^2 = xy-y^2
(x+y)(x-y) = y(x-y)
x+y = y
2y = y
2 = 1
1 = 0

Now since 2+2 = 2+2+0 and we apply the lemma proof so that 0 = 1, 2+2+0 = 2+2+1 =5

THEREFORE
2+2 = 5

*CHALLENGE* Find the "fuzzy math" in that

FOUND:yahoo answers

This is right are you from the US if so look up the show fairy odddpsrents its on there to also on anther cartoon i just dont remember which XD

a friend of mine linked it to ma after a failed conversation where he said he could prove it, it was close but he messed up somehow but i posted it cuz i was surprised O__o

Ooops x-y and since x and y are the same its 0 dividing by 0 is undefined -__- wrong cant happen

"Let x be a non-zero number, and set y=x. Thus:"

At what point in your own post does "Let x be a non-zero number and set y=x" did you get the idea that x or y could be the number zero?

Ayanavi if x=y then in any point where x-y its subtracting by itself so it becomes 0 becaus of substraction

like if x=2
and y=3

x-y= -1 but neither x=-1 nor x=-1

x-y= 0 (if x=y) but x does not =0 nor does y=0 :)

And this folks, is why I'm not a math major.

Made a litle mistake *FIXED
-------------------------------

If x=y then in any point where x-y its subtracting by itself so it becomes 0 becaus of substraction

like if x=2
and y=3

x-y= -1 but neither x=-1 nor *y=-1
-----------------------------------------

IF x=y then its the same number

x-y=0 doesnt mean x=0 nor y=0


^~^ kay fixed, neither am i i always Just pass my math classes

I don't think letters belong in math lol just kidden

" x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2 "

If y is equal to x, all that will end up as 0 = 0.

Just for proof, let's substitute x and y with the number 5.

x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2
(5)^2 - (5)^2 = (5)(5) - (5)^2
25 - 25 = 25 - 25
0 = 0

In other words, 2 + 2 is still 4 and not 5. I just did quick Google search on this, and I found that this isn't ultimately a mathematical proof, but a political tool. I didn't read deep enough to find out exactly how it's used in politics and society though.

i know i disproved the post, if you continue to the last part of the problem x-y to eliminate by both sides you have to devide by it but if x=y the answer is 0 and since you have to divide by 0 to get the 0 out it cant occur, so this can never happen :)

I'm curious too. And would like to share this with my classmates. I am able to follow and I have read up to the 11th post. However, in the first post, it is said, "2 = 1" where we can conclude that it is possible since 2 is not equal to 1.

>>2 yeah i saw that episode lol

I saw this on some website! There was something wrong with the equation i kind of forgot. How about we just let x equals 0. Let the poor letter be free

Problem why it wouldnt work is cuz x=y and if x-y that makes it 0 automatically so yu cant divide by it

ex:
0/2=0 2/0=Undefined

Tis troll logic

>>16 you just made my day

lol hope that was a joke buht if you thought it was real

ya cant break up a group you cant cancel a sum or a subtraction unless you cancel them both from both sides, to do so they have to be identical meaning 4-9/2=4-9/2 can become 1=1 cuz you divide by the same equation on both sides. Ya cant break a group up :D

I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive to say, but I COULDN'T pass up the chance to make this reference:

I CHECKED THE MATH! 2+2 ISN'T 5! IT'S 6! 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>19 WRONG! 2+2=FISH! but when Chuck Norris does it 2+2=FIST!

bump

lol @ 20 quite creative doctor well played XD
so the newly formed is postulate

If 2+2=Fist
therfore x/0= Chuck Noris if you have to ask then go back to middle school

Dollars and mathmatics, and now i shall explain pie via picture:

2+2 = 1+1+1+1+0 = four +'s and 4 ones. since 4 and one's are next to each other without a sign multiply to make 4. you are now left with ++++ wich is equal to 2 *'s. so your new problem becomes 4 (2*). so by the distribuative property we get 8 (4*). so all theroies are irrelevent for 2+2 has an infinate ammount of answers, all being wrong.

4x3=10

CHEMISTRY MATH FTW

My brain just died a little.

No! Your all wrong!

2+2= Philip!!!!!!

:3 trololol

:3 trololol

Sorry that's not correct, you can't say 0=1. Furthermore X is not 0.

3rd line and 4th line, nonreversible function.
=xy-y^2
=y(x-y)
=(xy)(y*-y)
(y*-y)=-y^2 but root(-y^2) must either be imaginary or be (-(root(y^2)) which is not the same as the original.

Not used to doing math on comp, I may have skipped up somewhere. If so, call me on it.

arch already disproved it in >>8

It ends up being a division of 0, which is indeterminate.

XD my best friend say:
1+1=3
becauz 1 person plus 1 person is 3
get it?

bump :D

yay

>>34 tf?

After taking linear algebra it makes sense. This transformation isn't linear, so the domain, range, and bases change. I don't feel like figuring out the new domain, range, and base, as it's just math for the sake of math. Of course there is no trivial solution as pointed out by >>4. Of course 0/0 means l'hospital's rule can be applied, but you'd be dealing with partial derivitaves.
