Solve

Solve.

Princeton mathematicians spent 2 months on this problem to determine its correct answer.

Can you figure it out?

y = infinity

Y = infinity

y - y = 1
0 = 1

Easy

Infinity isn't a REAL number. It's just a concept.

>0 = 1
are you retarded

there is no solution. it's not possible.

If we only count real numbers, this isn't an equation, and therefore this isn't solvable (the idea with EQUAtions is that both sides are EQUAL)

When did facebook spill onto Sup Forums

what if y represents such a formula that allows its value + 1 to equal itself?

I feel like it's possible

being a samefag
This is just a false statement, nothing to solve

This is literally irrational

I'll bite, like what?

Worked on that for two months. When?

Unfortunately, it is considered okay to use it as a number. Field winners use it in equations. Math has become a joke, worse than theoretical physics.

It's X because the next letter is Y. What do I win?

That would be infinity, because if y=y+1 then y=y+2 then y=y+3 and so on.

Multiplicative inverse.

Y can only be one number though, that's the point of variables

I'm not an expert, but maybe something like:

f(y) = y - 1 IF y > 0

So if y = 2, y - 1, then 1 = 2 - 1 + 1

im probably wrong though

Trips have spoken.

typo, meant to say 2 = 2 - 1 + 1

it is either positive infinity or negative infinity, it could be either one. Since the value of infinity is forever going, adding one does not effect it in the slightest. So therefore the only possible answer to this problem is y= +/- ∞.

a number or an expression, but I get what you're saying, can't replace it with f(something) unless something is the same for both sides

You're writing that inequality wrong, it's supposed to be y < y + 1

Hijacking this thread, with no survivors!

The answer is
y = y + 1

Nice division by zero fgt

y=y+1
y(1-1)=1
y=1/0

...

it's just a way of adding 1 to a number
use y++ for cleaner code

...

...

That equation literally solves itself

Well it's a good thing we have people like you to set the record straight and fix math, Mr. 8th grader!

Y= infinity

Thats wrong on so many levels you fuck.
How in the world can 0=1
That's like saying have 0 grams is the same as having 1

...

...

Obvious joke dipshit top kek

>9

Dat BE-DM-AS

Easy

he should wait, then shoot the survivor as many times as he can

the other two will shoot each other, banking on the fact that white will probably miss and the most dangerous person is the other

those arent lines. lines are straight

Nine?

36 cm^2

He should try to shoot himself

About as straight as your faggot ass

...

Assuming the boy/girl birth rate is 50/50, yes

Increment y;

fuckin roasted

it's been proven that numbers beyond Aleph Null can get large enough that math contradicts itself. Y could be such a number.

read up on it

you people are all retards.

op, take this shit back to facebook.

Vsauce did a video on it

damn son.jpeg

We have a winner.

This is exactly why division by zero is forbidden: because it allows you to prove that all numbers are equal to each other.

36cm squared

No his plan would work if they killed the babies that are boys lol

Looks like an incremental assignment in code to me. Loop that nigger and setup the comprison inside function scope.

I think read about a guy that had solved it. He use another equation do not remember the name. But it is just an aproximation.

is this thing on?

op said solve, not solve for y. this is solution.

360 nope scope.

Poop

y=y+1
y-1=y

Y = Perpetual Motion

>asking a question about equality with floating point numbers

assuming that Y = Y+1, naturally Y would be equal to Y+1

simple maths, bros. try harder.

y =/= y+n (n є ℝ and n =/= 0)

see

It's an imaginary number, I think.

What no you can't divide by 0 because let's think of a pizza for example;
How would you divide a whole pizza into 0 pieces?

Anyone who treats this statement as anything other than nonsense is either under-aged or a slack-jawed simpleton that can barely wipe his own ass. Don't believe me? Pic related. This isn't up for debate, so don't even try.

You're right sir.
Infinite cardinal numbers.

Lol it would still be y+1 y would just continuously 1 larger.

why the fuck are you dipshits still trying

heres your answer

That doesn't solve y
You paradoxed the equation

eat it before anyone has a chance to look at it

Maybe when you're programming. But even then, you need to define what is Y before assign that variable to itself + 1.

this

6/2(1+2)= 1

Sit down and have another toke

Starting off, half of the families roll boys and half roll girls, and the boy families stop. The gender ratio is 50/50
Of the remaining families, half roll boys and half roll girls again. The gender ratio never changes.
In fact, even if a family drops out, the remaining pool of families is still governed by the 50/50 ratio.

Schrodinger's pizza

you forgot to add 1 to the other side bro

oh he got slept

2(1+2)
2(3)
2x3

6 / above stuffs

6/2(1+2)= 1

=1, i win

and the other answer to OP q is... y = infinity

stahp b8in' pls

>implying theoretical physics wasn't already math to begin with

y=1,
boolean algebra you silly gooses; nobody specified elementary algebra

easy

y=y+1
y=absolute value of the sum of the set [-1,0]
and so y=1
and y+1, which is absolute value of [0,1], is 1.

You can set each side of the equation equal to z and graph. The solution is always when the lines intersect. Hence these are parallel lines, they never intersect so no solution exist. QED.

Thats a more complicated form of the utility problem. not solvable.

Woah woah woah nigger. Graphs aren't math. They're a pretty way to visualize math, but they sure as shit don't prove anything.

Duck.

Math bro here, you're a faggot. A faggot who is wrong.

...

C seems to think this

also, to add (no pun intended)
'adding 1' here is defined as adding 1 to every element of the set in y

It's one, fucktards. Order of operations.

this is fucking gold

user got assblasted right there
