2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2-2+2 x 0?

So you believe in doing the addition before the multiplication?

errr.
i dont think it is.
maths is maths. its an absolute. theres a right and wrong answer.

and its def not zero btw

Larkino · 11-10-11, 08:52 PM

If there's anything that's not subjective it's maths haha.

Ojaser6 · 12-10-11, 12:08 AM

The part about you guys not being as thick as I thought? Let me take that back

Is infinite an absolute answer?

at uni i was taught maths can be subjective

Err, we were thought that anything divided by 0 is an undefinable value. Bot I'm sure that's different than infinity

Ojaser6 · 12-10-11, 11:22 AM

Which pretty much is infinity imo

Kfchris1 · 12-10-11, 11:52 AM

So If 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 24
And 0 x 2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 14

What noise does a turtle make..........

Ojaser6 · 12-10-11, 11:57 AM

Turtles make sounds?!

I'm fairly sure that the fundamental rule of equations isn't subjective.

Every value in math is definable, just to certain degrees. Infinity isn't a number, it is however, a value.

To divide by 0 is to effectively find how many 0s you can take out of 2. Because 2-0=2 then you can take an infinite amount of 0s away from 2 and still be able to take away more.

Wow! You should be a Maths teacher, Stu! That was a superb explanation!

Ojaser6 · 13-10-11, 11:19 AM

Btw Sufiyan I am wondering why you voted 26?? I thought you understood the question??

Sufiyan · 13-10-11, 11:22 AM

^^^ Oh, darn! Made a mistake!

jheeez people... you could have, 1,000,000 + 1,000,000 x 0 = 0 ... but 1,000,000 + 1,000,000 x 1 = 2,000,000

lol

1000000 + 1000000 x 0 = 1000000

Google it

(1000000 + 10000000) x 0 = 0 this makes me

how the F did i get an A in maths GCSE?

That's correct.

There's no bracket in the original, though.
