Quoting: Borian Google is no help. Just sarcastic nerd replies. if Y is a number divided by zero then Y is undefined. and 2 + an undefined number is still undefined undefined = undefined solved undefined.... how inspiring.

Dr.DoomLittle User ID: 6231580 United States 07/06/2012 12:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | that equation is the same as y = 4, which is not the equation the OP brought. it must be 2 = 2/{(y-2)/(y-2)} it must be, because {(y-2)/(y-2)} = 1, and 2/1 = 2. im too lazy to solve for y. if it doesnt, then you'd be right. glad to add to the confusion.

(y-2)/(y-2) is 1, unless y=2 so you are saying 2=4, unless y=2. so that's wrong. Can you actually subtract from zero and have a sum? If not, Y might just equal zero. It's the reason I ask.. pretty much. |

Quoting: Borian It's the reason I ask.. pretty much. Yes you can subtract from zero and have a sum. A sum is defined as adding some numbers together, right? The numbers can be negative. So: 0 + (-7) = -7 can you really take away from nothing? |

Quoting: Borian Google is no help. Just sarcastic nerd replies. Is it a third dimension equation given to us by a other dimension? actually, I would "dictate" the equation to be inherently invalid and move on. Self contradiction by its OWN definition is in itself an invalid number, or definition. philosophically invalid. In fact it looks more like a simple definition of a bad philosphical statement or argument than a math equation. Last Edited by Intergalactic Diplomat on 07/06/2012 12:38 AM |
