When you get down to the line 2a=a, 'a' must equal 0; that is the only solution that works. this comes from multiplying the entire equation by 'a' in the first place. saying there is something wrong this this is like saying 5x=2x 5=2 OMGOMG hope that englightened someone. ur not very bright... jtan was right, lol | ||

You start out with an equation that is linear, then you turn it into a quadratic (ignoring the negative effect), you end up with something bizzare. Simiarly, I can 'prove' x = -x, x belongs to real numbers. You start off with x = x, root(x^2) = root((-x)^2) x = -x | ||

(a^2)-(b^2)=0 ab-(b^2)=0 Nothing more you can do with the equation. | ||

Since the process of squaring a real number and then taking the square root of the obtained quantity is not generally commutative, that's not a legal operation. Also, the real function f = x^2 is not injective, and the real function g = x^.5 is not surjective, so unless I'm mistaken the composite function f(g) must be neither, which means you can never cancel things (and neither f nor g can have inverses). I'm mostly just writing this for my own benefit though. I'm pretty annoyed, lol. Why is it said that the rule (a^b)^c = a^(b*c) holds for all real a, b, c? | ||

Many sites just say it holds whenever all numbers involved are real, which is just plain wrong . That's why I was a little worked up t.tI would like a counter example please. | ||
