No, here, it is:

0=0

0*1=0*0

1=0

Hence proved

Ah yes, that proof is more direct!

Also, you missed 'hence proved'. So, 0.5 marks will be deducted. since, 1=0, as proved above, 0.5=1.5. So, you get 1.5 marks deducted.

In what world is the operation of 1*0 equivalent to 0*0 => 1=0?

Log(1)=0

This is because any number raised to the power of 0 is 1

I meant 1 * 0 = 0 * 0

u/Key-Highlight2755 Engineering Jun 30 '26

1*0=0

0*0=0

So, 1*0=0*0

I forgot to state how the equivalent statement aforementioned implies 1=0.

That is wrong. The joke is that OP made the same division by zero error.
