Stoner Spike 185 February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 hehe. Didn't think it was possible, eh? Here. Proof. 1 + 1 = 3 If we let x = y, x-y+y = y x-y+y ÷ x-y = y ÷ x-y If we simplify this we get: x-y ÷ x-y + y ÷ x-y = y ÷ x-y OR 1+y ÷ x-y = y ÷ x-y 1 = y ÷ x-y - y ÷ x-y (This means 1 = 0) Now knowing x = y or 1=1 is true and that 1=0 (or 0=1), we show: 0 = 1, 1 = 1 and 1 = 1. If we add all these equations we get: 0+1+1 = 1+1+1 or, fully simplified 1+1=3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingTwilight 101 February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 Well, strictly speaking you cannot divide by zero, which is what pretty much all of these "proofs" have done. However... The limit x->0+ (from the right side of the graph towards zero) f(x) = 1/x does equal infinity. So you "kinda" can in Calculus. Though f(0) is still technically undefined. It's just that it depends on where the function is approaching. lim x->0- (from the left side of the graph) would be minus infinity. Anyway...the laws of mathematics are safe once again!

Mr. Wobbels 664 February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 Anyone think of this when they read the title of this thread? (also I almost failed math so I am the worst person to handle this) I was just about to post this: 1984 was a great book btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espionage 113 February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 Did you know that 0.999 repeating is the same as 1? 0.333 repeating + 0.333 repeating + 0.333 repeating = 0.999 repeating. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1. 1/3 = 0.333 repeating.

Evilshy 5,089 February 28, 2012 Share February 28, 2012 Did you know that 0.999 repeating is the same as 1? 0.333 repeating + 0.333 repeating + 0.333 repeating = 0.999 repeating. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1. 1/3 = 0.333 repeating. Mind blown! Also, 1/9=0.111111 repeating 2/9=0.2222222 repeating 3/9=0.3333333 repeating etc... So logicially, 9/9 would equal 0.999999 repeating. But 9/9=1 Problem, math?

RagingTwilight 101 February 29, 2012 Share February 29, 2012 (edited) Also, 1/9=0.111111 repeating 2/9=0.2222222 repeating 3/9=0.3333333 repeating etc... So logicially, 9/9 would equal 0.999999 repeating. But 9/9=1 Problem, math? it's actually well-established that 0.99999(repeating infinitely) is equal to 1. So nope. Math has no problem here. If I'm not mistaken, it's because of this fact that you cannot induct over the set of real numbers.
