1)
|
Let a = b
|
2)
|
Multiply 1) by a
a2 = ab |
3)
|
Add a2
– 2ab to both parts of 2)
a2 + a2 – 2ab = ab + a2 – 2ab |
4)
|
3) could be
simplified:
2a2 – 2ab = a2 – ab |
5)
|
It is the same
as
2(a2 – ab) = 1(a2 – ab) |
6)
|
Reduce 5) by (a2
– ab).
2=1 |
Where is a
mistake?
Mistake is in the
6th step.
We can not divide by (a2 – ab) because a2– ab = 0.
a = b, so a2– ab = 0.
