Prove that 3 = 2
Can U Prove 3=2??
This seems to be an anomaly or whatever u call in
mathematics.
It seems, Indian mathematician Ramanujan found it but never disclosed it
during his life time and that it has been found from
his dairy.
See this illustration:
-6 = -6
9-15 = 4-10
adding 25/4 to both sides:
9-15+25/4 = 4-10+25/4
Changing the order
9+25/4-15 = 4+25/4-10
(this is just like a2 + b2 - 2ab =
(a-b)2.)
Here a = 3, b=5/2 for L.H.S and a =2, b=5/2 for R.H.S.
So it can be expressed as follows:
(3-5/2)(3-5/2) = (2-5/2)(2-5/2)
Taking positive square root on both sides:
3 - 5/2 = 2 - 5/2
3 = 2 ????????
