  • @MrSeezero

    It has to be A because that is the only equation in which the value on the right can't be a principal square root.

  • @michaelthompson5396
    @michaelthompson5396 Час назад

    There is a solution. If x is a member of the cyclic group defined by modulo 4, then the solution is x=2, and x-2 = x+2 = 0.

  • @kmsbean

    For equation A this is what I got: since sqrt(x) = x ^(0.5), and since e^(i pi) = -1, then sqrt(x) = -1 can be written as: x ^ 0.5 = e ^ i pi 0.5 lnx = i pi ln x = 2i pi x = (e^2ipi) = (e^ipi)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1 which would mean that sqrt(1) = -1. While it may not be the principle root, that would be sqrt (1) = 1, it still seems like a valid solution to me.

    x is in a quantum wave state oscillating between -2 and +2, entangled with itself so that when it is in one state on one side of the equation, it is in the corresponding other state on the other side of the equation. So the solution is: 0 = 0 superposed with 4 = -4. 🤪

    I think the logic (which was wrong) was that if two terms are equal, they multiply to zero. Now, you could say that if x= -2 and +2, then the terms are equal and multiplied together they equal zero.

    In an engineering exam you can still get some marks for this answer if you substitute 2 in the original equation, giving 2 + 2 = 2 - 2, i.e 4 = 0, and write "There is obviously a mistake somewhere". And if the examiner sees the mistake is a simple typo you might even get nearly full marks.

    You didn't mention one basic thing that is taught along with equation solving: always perform a test of correctness (maybe solution verification? don't know the exact english term, but you are surely taught to do it). Just try putting the discovered "solutions" into the original equation and if you get nonsense, you know you made a mistake somewhere.

    • @popularmisconception1
      @popularmisconception1 7 часов назад

      Now I see it. The tik-tok solution IS correct, you just have to verify it right: use one solution (-2) for the first X and the other solution (2) for the second X. -2+2 = 2-2 !!! So it means they are not the same X, that's the trick!!! NEW MATH!!!!

  • @stevenwilson5556

    No, not "no solutions". It has no *finite* solutions. X = infinity is a solution. And since you cannot multiply infinity by 0, nor can you subtract infinity by infinity, the solution holds.

      I don't entirely agree with that. The two parallel lines don't even APPROACH each other in the limit as x approaches either infinity. They remain the same distance apart and don't get one iota closer to each other. x getting large may make the difference of 4 units between the lines insignificantly small compared to the y-values of the lines, but they still aren't approaching each other.

    Considering the whoppers made in the first few steps of this solution, I don't think this person is ready to consider extended real number systems or modular arithmetic to save their ass as suggested elsewhere in these responses. I do like your "complete the problem" attitude. Fractions should always be reduced (16/64 is one of my favorites - "but I reduced it by crossing out the 6's") and indefinite integrals should always end with a "+ C" (unless you have more information about the function). Mark 'em down. Just because you "got the right answer" doesn't mean you did it properly.
