X + X + X + ........ x times = X . X = X^2
 
Now, differentiating both sides w.r.t x,
 
1 + 1 + 1 +............x times = 2X
 
i.e. X = 2X
 
i.e 1 = 2  ( X IS NOT EQUAL TO O , AS THIS IS TRUE FOR ANY VALUE. SO WE CAN CANCELL X FROM BOTH SIDES)
 
What's the catch??
 
Can u tell me !!!!!!!

hey

1+1+1+1 4 times is 4 which is not 1^4.so check it out...

Njoy!!!!!!

To, Mr. Kavincoollz,
 
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 (4times) = 4 x 1 = 4
 
Observe, 2 + 2 +2 + 2 (4times) = 4 x 2 = 8
 
Now , 3 + 3 + 3 (3 times) = 3 x 3 = 3^2 = 9
 
So, x + x + x + x ...... ( x times ) = x.x = x^2
 
There is nothing wrong in this step

My dear friend... in ur given equation
X+X+X+X......   X times
the no.of times a no. X is summed must be a constant therefore for the below equation ....
X+X+X+X+.......   X' times  where X'=X  we have X' as constant....
So,
X+X+X+X......   X' times = X*X'
Differentiating  both sides
1+1+1+1+......X'  times = X'   AS X' IS COMMON...

yea...krish is right

derivative of a constant is 0....so it does nt hold...

In the problem we can only sum up x like that if and only iff x belongs to the set of positive integers & not otherwise. Under this conditions, x is not a variable.

You never know what is enough till you know what is more than enough.

Hey ariyam66,
 
U hav assumed here that X is not equal to 0. Then instead of putting X , write that particular number corresponding number of times and RHS will be number square .Differentiate and u will get 0=0 . Or Just tell me a number that u will write so many times and get what i say . U cant. The very quantity changes when u differentiate and equality wont hold good.
                            
                                        cos=0
 
solving one value of  = /2
 
If u differentiate the above eqn u get one value sin= 0 ie  is 0. But we got  value which doesnt match with this. So by differentiating an eqn, u wont get the same roots.In fact u will get (the sum of the roots)/2 . Try it
 
Now u get it . One word to titun, hey titun u r signature  2nd line is not that cool.

They say ITZ NOT THE APTITUDE BUT THE ATTITUDE WHICH DECIDES U R ALTITUDE . THEN WHY M I NOT AT THE TOP IN THIS SITE? LIFE IS JUST NOT FAIR.

hey by the way you spelt me wrong and for your proof i must salute you bcoz i dont find any mistake now and you were right and those guys telin about the constant thing is that x is a variable and i think that the mistake lies somewhere in the drawbacks of calculus...
