Did you read the "list of paradoxes" on wikipedia too?
I still think this person you learnt this all from was either talking utter arse, or was pulling your leg.some_random_panda wrote:
Well, perhaps my proof for the second one was a little askew, but my first question was correct and the concepts for both puzzles were correct (I learned them from a person who studies this sort of stuff for a living).deepblade_42 wrote:
I thought you could only use inductive reasoning with real numbers (IE not inf.)
What you're saying holds true for all positive and negative (-2*-2=4 etc) real numbers. Beyond that inductive reasoning falls apart.
BTW 3^3=27 !!!!11!!one!!
Take Calc II. Infinite Series have sums.some_random_panda wrote:
Anyone know why if you add it horizontally, vertically or as a concept that it is different?
EDIT: Truth be told, I'm not even sure any of those series converge anyway. But I'm certainly not going to be buggered with turning them into a series finding the nth term and running the nth term test for divergence.
Infinity is neither a set nor a number. You cannot perform mathematical operations on infinity such as multiplication.some_random_panda wrote:
SECOND ONE! (GROAN)
If A= infinity, and B= A^A, why is B larger than A?
After all, isn't infinity just that? INFINITY? (no, obviously, or i wouldn't be posting)
To prove it, say a number is larger than another because its SET e.g, 4={1,2,3,4} is larger than another, e.g, 2={1,2}
Infinity's set is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11...}.

Here's a question: graph y = (-2) ^ x
