x = 1 x² = x x² - 1 = x -1 (x - 1)(x + 1) = x - 1 x + 1 = 1 2 = 1
Very good BF! I like your version better, clearer statements to the conclusion. You'll have to show me how to do superscripts so that I don't confuse anyone else with ^2.
Do you see the division by zero error that SM mentioned on my thread? It is between steps 4 and 5 of your proof. If x = 1 (your opening statment), then x - 1 = 0, so you cannot divide both sides of the equation by x - 1. Cool, eh?
OK. For your next task, show that the area of a right triangle cannot be a square. Anyone know the famous title to this problem?
OK OK OK. You don't have to answer. We can get back to FOO issues and all that. Seriously, it has been fun Corri and BF. You both have very sharp minds. Let's go another round anytime.
