0/0 = 2

I dare you to find a flaw with this proof.

the part where you assume 0/0 = 1

10/10 no flaws whatsoever

>> No.5749185

the problem is your transition between steps 3 and 4

>dividing by zero

>> No.5749196

Division by zero is not defined. If you'd like to define it, YOU need to show that 0/0 is well defined. You can just as easily change your "derivation" to "show" that 0/0 is 3, meaning it's not well defined.

Take <span class="math">\frac{10^3 - 10^3}{10^3 - 10^3}[/spoiler] for example.
Following the same logical path, <span class="math">\frac{0}{0} = 3[/spoiler]

For every <span class="math">\frac{a^n - a^n}{a^n - a^n}[/spoiler] where <span class="math">a, n \in \mathbb{Z}[/spoiler], you get the solution <span class="math">\frac{0}{0} = n[/spoiler]

Meaning that there is no unique solution <span class="math">\frac{0}{0}[/spoiler].

You've proved nothing.

this

also inbetween steps 2 and 3 would it not be divied by 10(10-10)10 and not 10(10-10)

>> No.5749600

>>5749215
How so? If you redistribute that then it would be 1000-1000...

There's no solution set to this. You've proved nothing and insinuated a straw man fallacy

You proved nothing.

This. When you cancel out the (10-10)s, you make the assumption that they equal one, but in fact 0/0 does not equal one, so they wouldnt cancel out.

>> No.5749751

>>5749600
1000-1000=100-100

>> No.5749757

The function:

<div class="math">f(x)=\frac{10-x}{10-x}</div>
is equal to one everywhere, except at x=10 where there's a hole and it's undefined. So you could set f(x)=1 if you were simply trying to evaluate the limit as x->10, but the function itself is not defined there.

You divided by zero when you crossed out (10-10)

>> No.5749805

>>5749178

0/0 = 1-1/1-1
0/1-1
(0*1) (0*-1)
0 -0
0/0 = 0/0*-0
0/-0


> 0/0 = 0/-0 I dare you to find a flaw with this proof

It's actually a pretty good attempt at a math quandry, much better than usual.

> You divided by zero when you crossed out

Right, and the fact that OP STARTS OFF WITH 0/0 doesn't trouble you?

>> No.5749920

>>5749809

No it's not because DIVISION BY ZERO IS NOT FUCKING DEFINED. This BS falls over in step one when 0/0 is mentioned.

>> No.5749932

>>5749809
You might as well just make the function x/x. There's nothing clever about it.
