Obviously this is incorrect. What we have actually shown is that 1 = 0 implies 0 = 0. You would write this out formally as: (1 = 0) -> (0 ...

Subtracting 1 from both sides, 1 = 0. What’s wrong with this “proof”? Presentation Suggestions: This Fun Fact is a reminder for students to always check when they are dividing by unknown variables for cases where the denominator might be zero. The Math Behind the Fact: The problem with this “proof” is that if x=y, then x-y=0.

Fermat’s Last Theorem Fermat’s Last Theorem states that the equation x n+yn= z , xyz6= 0 has no integer solutions when nis greater than or equal to 3. Around 1630, Pierre de Fermat claimed that he had found a “truly wonderful” proof of this theorem, but that the margin of his copy of Diophantus’ Arithmetica was too small to contain it:

Mar 17, 2010 · To show why this logic is unsound, here's a "proof" that 1 = 0: 1 = 0 (hypothesis) 0 * 1 = 0 * 0 (multiply each side by same amount maintains equality) 0 = 0 (arithmetic) According to the logic of the previous proof, we have reduced 1 = 0 to 0 = 0, a known true statement, so 1 = 0 is true.

1) In particular, the exponents m , n , k need not be equal, whereas Fermat's last theorem considers the case m = n = k . The Beal conjecture , also known as the Mauldin conjecture and the Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture, states that there are no solutions to the generalized Fermat equation in positive integers a , b , c , m , n , k with a , b , and c being pairwise coprime and all of m , n , k ...

Fermat’s Last Theorem became the most notorious problem in mathematics. The more that mathematicians tried, the more they failed, and the more desirable a solution became. The Last Theorem was a source of frustration, but it also had a lighter side. In the 1980s a piece of graffiti appeared on New York’s Eighth Street subway station.

Fermat's Last Theorem considers solutions to the Fermat equation: a + b = c with positive integers a, b, and c and an integer n greater than 2. There are several generalizations of the Fermat equation to more general equations that allow the exponent n to be a negative integer or rational, or to consider three different exponents. The generalized Fermat equation generalizes the statement of Fermat's last theorem by conside…

The following is a “proof” that one equals zero. Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that. x = y. Then x 2 = xy. Subtract the same thing from both sides: x 2 – y 2 = xy – y 2 . Dividing by (x-y), obtain. x + y = y. Since x = y, we see that.
