Proof that 2=1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) X=Y ; Given
|
||
|
|
2) X^2=XY ; Multiply both sides by X
|
||
|
|
3) X^2-Y^2=XY-Y^2 ; Subtract Y^2 from both sides
|
||
|
|
4) (X+Y)(X-Y)=Y(X-Y) ;Factor
|
||
|
|
5) X+Y=Y ;Cancel out (X-Y) term
|
||
|
|
6) 2Y=Y ;Substitute X for Y, by equation 1
|
||
|
|
7) 2=1 ; Divide both sides by Y
