Ever thought 4 could equal 5? Let’s dive deep into two proofs and see if you can find the error! Proof 1: A Dive into Basic Arithmetic So, we’re given a basic arithmetic challenge that tries to prove 4=5. Can you spot the mistake? \(20-20=25-25\) \((5×4)-(5×4)=(5×5)-(5×5)\) \(4×(5-5)=5×(5-5)\) \(4=5\) \(2+2=5\) Mistake Breakdown: Alright, let’s clear things…
Ever thought 1 could equal 2? Well, at first glance, some proofs might have you believe it. But remember, 1 definitely doesn’t equal 2! So, there’s a sneaky mistake hiding somewhere in each proof. Ready to challenge yourself and find it? Proving with Arithmetic Let’s dive right into a classic arithmetic proof: \(a=b\) \(a^2=ab\) \(a^2-b^2=ab-b^2\)…
