Sir/Madam

A few months back My sir derived the derivation for prooving 1=0

But i forgot it now.

Can u please derive it for me

I dont think there is any kind of proof like that.

 

Some people try it by assuming a=b and go on but they divide by 0(ie b-a)

which is not possible

 

My apologies to those who couldn't understand what i wrote above but i guess vishy u might understand this if ur sir has proceeded like this.

I think everyone got Ashwin...

 

Let me put down a very simple example :

Initially it is given that, a and b are two positive integers such that :

             

                                                       a = b

                                                     a² = ab

                                               a² - b² = ab - b²

                                       (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)

                                                (a + b) = b

                                                        a = 0

 

But is not 'a', a positive integer ??!! Now the hidden mistake made over here is that in the 4th step, you cancelled (a - b) on both sides which is not possible as a = b and that (a - b) = 0. These types of tricky proofs can be brought through very complex words that you may not notice the mistakes made....   

Lets have a look at these example..:-

 

x=0

x=0x...(Since any thing multiplied by zero is zero.)

therefore,

1=0....(cancelling x both the sides)

 

Similarly, you can do this for other numbers....

 

Please rate me....

 

thanx...

This is an another interesting example..

 

log₁9=x....(x is any variable..Its value depends upon your wish)

therefore,

 

1^x=9

 

therefore,

since 1 raise to any power is 1, expect that it is not between 0 and 1, likewise cube roots of unity...

 

1=9..

 

Similarly, you can do this for any number..

 

The mistake here is taking base as 1, which is not permitted..

 

Please rate me...

 

Thanx...

 

 

vishy_1990  it is not possible to prove 1=0 without assuming something wrong by Mathematics. If we make a some of one page long than it's possible that we can not find a mistake. but lets me try to prove :

 

  0 = 0  it's true for all conditions

 

 0. 1 = 0. 0          it's also true for all condtions

 

Now cancel the zeroes both side as we use in algebra that

a.b=a.c    b =c

 

 

But remeber in Mind that we can not zeroes as I have done.
