-1=1 nop tricks... (1 Viewer)

[JamiL]

[(-1)^.5 ]^2 = -1^1
= -1
althou
[(-1)^.5 ]^2 = [(-1)^.5 ] * [(-1)^.5 ]
= [(-1)^2]^.5 [(ab)^.5 = a^.5 * b^.5]
(-1)^2 = 1
Therefore [(-1)^.5 ]^2 =1^.5
= 1
[(-1)^.5 ]^2 = [(-1)^.5 ]^2
therefore 1=-1
crazy... im a bored cunt

oh please, no more maths (well not yet anyway!!!). We're on holidays man!!!!

You're using imaginary numbers to solve real problems dude.

Let me summarise your argument:
i^2=-1
But
i=sqrt(-1), so
i^2=sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1)
i^2=sqrt(-1*-1)
i^2=sqrt(1)
i^2=1
So i^2=-1=1
.'. -1=1
Taking the square root of both sides, i=1

The problem lies here:
i^2=sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1)
i^2=sqrt(-1*-1)

At this point it might be pertinent to note that the definition of an imaginary number is a number which, when squared, gives -1. That is: i^2=-1.

The definition IS NOT that i=sqrt(-1)

 

[Slidey]

I should probably make it a bit clearer. i is A square root of -1. The other square root is -i.

Since both -1 and 1 are the square roots of 1 and -1, this is why you get -1 and 1 when you square i.

Let's first note the cyclic nature of powers of i:
i^0=1, i^1=i, i^2=-1, i^3=-i, i^4=1
Now you've got the result that i^2= 1 or -1. Take the square root of i^4:
sqrt(i^4)=i^2 or -i^2
That is: -1 or 1.
Alternatively, square the squares of i: 1^2 = 1, (-1)^2 = 1. And what is the square of the square of i? i^4 = 1.

It's a bit like how the square roots of 4 are 2 and -2.
sqrt(4)=2
sqrt(4)=-2
.'. 2=-2.

Deosn't work, does it?

yer sorta slide rule, but not exactly... but basicly the same, it is mathematicly correct... but logicly not

mathematically it is not and cannot be correct or the universe would implode

 

[mack]

Thatd suck. Where would I put all my stuff?

It'd all be packed into a nice little ball for you

 

[Slidey]

Finding his stuff would be a problem, though, because everybody else's stuff would also be packed into the ball.

 

[JamiL]

e^ipi + 1=0
.'. clearly, 42.
im confuzed???

 

[Slidey]

Me, too.

 

[Slidey]

e^(i*pi)=-1. Euler's famous formula.

42 = the answer to the question "What is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything?", alternatively, what do you get when you multiply 6 and 9?

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

I AM ALSO confused
if 1=-1 would i REALLY be wasting time in a forum for losers who are still at school when i am rad and not at school?
THE ANSWER IS "NON" YOU SHITHEADS

 

[Li0n]

i couldnt be bothered reading your message but if your dissing maths, ill stab you.

 

[JamiL]

no stabing in here... jus find a forumla that tells u wen every body is goin 2 die, and then laught at him cos he is goin 2 die.. acording 2 newton the world runs on maths and there is 1 formla that can tell us everything

 

[Slidey]

I wouldn't count on it (one formula telling us everything, that is). afterall, NEWTON WAS WRONG.

Newton also stabbed himself in the eyes to see what would happen - yet another reason not to trust NEWTON.

yes newton was wrong (but according 2 einstin, he thinks there is 1 2) and newton stabed himslef in the eye to see wot would happen... fuk dud, i wonder y scientists are so stupid.... i dont wanna turn out like that
