1=(-1)(-1)
1=√(1)
Substitute:
1=√([-1][-1])
Distribution Law:
1=√(-1)*√(-1)
√(-1)=i
1=i*i
1=-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did I go wrong? Did I just prove that the distribution law doesn't work in all cases?

>> No.3530306

yes

math made a mistake

>> No.3530311

>>3530288
No, your mistake is on line 4, sqrt(a*b) =/ sqrt(a)*sqrt(b) in all cases

>> No.3530317

1=√(1)
false statment.
√(1)= 1 or -1

So I guess you could just call line 2 wrong for assuming positive. Then the distribution law is saved. Thank you.

Ok then

You have 0 apples. Put the 0 apples into 0 bags. You now have 1 apple, and 1 bag? No. it doesn't work like that.

>> No.3530395

>>3530389

0^0 = 1
0/0 = 1

Have fun mulling that one over

>>3530395
anything divided by zero is negative or positive infinity. as x gets larger in 1/x, the answer becomes smaller - since there are an infinite amount of numbers the answer is so big when you finally input zero

anything to the power of zero is 1 because x^a/x^a = x^(a-a) = x^(0)
but x^a/x^a = 1

>> No.3530423

0/0 is infinity

>>3530317
I seriously hope this bullshit is a troll by now. The real square root only takes positive values so 1^(1/2) = 1.

>> No.3530433

0^0 is defined to be 1.

Okay. Most of you that I've seen are just plain wrong about something. But... on topic:
√(1)=±1
√(-1(-1))=√(-1)*√(-1)=i*i=-1
√(-1(-1))=√(1)=±1
And also: order of operations. Parentheses come before exponents, and a square root is really just an exponent of 1/2.
