Sry.... I dont think this is right......

Simple maths

4=4

2^2 = 2^2

2=2

we cant say 2=-2

I had made small error which I editted

3-(5/2)=1/4

(5/2)-2 = 1/4

so (3-(5/2))^2 = ((5/2)-2)^2= (2-(5/2))^2


which is same as ((3-(5/2))^2 = (2-(5/2))^2

Dont get mistaken I reallyu did not know ur name and gave my response then I went to ur post and saw siggy name was not there then I went to slambook.... and rectified....

Again I would say Do not feel bad about it. Its Ok

I know the rule of (a-b)^2=(b-a)^2

Accordingly (3-5/2)^2=(5/2-3)^2
or (2-5/2)^2=(5/2-2)^2

But the anomaly is completely valid according to me....

Abhi and Anu its Ok In English Pal means friend so no problem, and I do not get upset with small stuff( I am a Prof. have to deal with American students)

Nice to know about u pallaviji... 😊 Maths Prof, ur simply grt 👏👏

In mathematics this is called a fallacy, not an anomaly.

There is a book written by Maxwell called Fallacies in Mathematics, it has many such examples given there and it is a very interesting read.

I am totally confused with maths.. bechari kavithadi, unhone kahaa she doesn know much maths... 😕 😕 😊

For example:

(3-5)^2=(7-5)^2, that does not mean that 3=7.
This is because the positive and negative of the same number have same squares.
This is what I am trying to say, that we cannot take positive square root on both sides, we can take a positive square root only on one side of the equality.

Yes u r very right...................... good one this Ramanujam cd not solve the equations to get the same number also😡
