Wtf? 0 = 1? Help!

So, what's wrong with this proof?

Everything.

If you multiply two negitives you get a positive no matter what.

(-1)^.5 is a complex number and follows different rules than real numbers. Learn math, then come back.

sqrt(-1) = i, a special number. Like kedlax said, it's a complex number.

The rule that it violated is that sqrt (x/y)=sqrt(x)/sqrt(y) only when the number is positive.

You do realize that its the square root of a number squared right?

Exactly, check here for proof.

yeah, I just remembered that actually. 151 and Coke makes math skills a little slow.

Yes, Yes, stop embarrasing me already. I don't use algerbra in my daily tasks so its a little hard to remember all the niggling little rules, esp. after 4 shots of 151 in my coke.

Don't do math drunk?

 

[imported_rscott]

ssssh. I realized my mistake, just after I posted instead of before.
