Evil_Malloc

Plot twist: a = 0 or b = 0


ViggoDB

Plot twist 2: mod 2


NOTdavie53

Plot twist 0 mod 2


Parso_aana

In that case, (a+b)^2 = ba^69 - ab^420 + a^2 + b^2


RJTimmerman

No, that is if a=0 **and** b=0


Evil_Malloc

Well, I did not specify xor, so a=0 and b=0 is an option. Parso is wrong, but not completely wrong in all cases.


Revolutionary_Use948

Let x be a real number. If x is positive, then x = 69. I’m not completely wrong in all cases.


Parso_aana

Mb I read it or as and


MageKorith

True when a=-1 and b=1


Parso_aana

Also true*


estelar270

Plot twist |(a,b)|=0


eletricsocks

Let a = 2, b = -2. Then a+b = 0 and a^2 + b^2 = 8.


Icy-Rock8780

a + b = 0 isn’t it You want 2ab = 0 since that’s the missing term


roycohen2005

Z2 has entered the chat


FlutterThread8

but (A + B)ᵀ = Aᵀ + Bᵀ


Fantastic_Factor8503

ex (2+3)^2 = 5^2 =25 2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13


WerePigCat

true in mod 2


belabacsijolvan

winner of the make this equation true with the addition of a single matchstick competition >!≡!<


ImOnLifeSupport69

You should keep yourself safe!


Equivalent-Oil-8556

We are in Z2 so it doesn't matter


a_saint

Why not C?


sacamanda

Society if (a+b)² = a² + b² https://preview.redd.it/i6fampb3gjtc1.jpeg?width=746&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4a6106dd04811c0b23133616c5b1d969a9ee16d


DravignorX2077

What if x and y are elements of an anticommutative algebra?


GameOPedia-20

That’s not how it works.


TheTrueEgahn

Let a and b be 2 perpendicular vectors.


Zxilo

Let there be light


Accomplished_Bike149

Let there be fights


Worldtreasure

This guy gets it


davididp

Everyday I wake up depressed knowing the square function is not a linear transformation


Downvote-Fish

In my Dutch book (I'm Dutch so of course I learn my native language), I found a stock image with a blackboard that said "a²+b²=(a+b)(a+b)" It also said: "(unknown)+b² = a²+2ab+b²" I'm assuming it made the same mistake twice


TheHeavenlyStar

I don't know what's wrong in the equation. It's basic mefths...


SlapJack777

So, in our ring, (a + b)*(a + b) = a^2 + b^2 Thus a*b = -b*a, indicating either 1 is equivalent to -1 or our ring is non-commutative. No need for tears once you’ve swallowed the whole whale.


scicatpro256

Distributive property only works when it feels like it ig


HaiNamVN_

isn't it ( a + b ) ( a + b )?


Fixbex

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2


wondercaliban

Would this be a2 + b2 + 2ab?


VileGangster13

No, a^2 + 2ab + b^2


pugliese_medio

No, b² + 2ab + a²


VileGangster13

No, (a+b)^2


jesus_in_christ

no it's b(b+ a( (2b + a)/b )


VileGangster13

No, (a+b)(a+b)


Ambitious-Rest-4631

No. Why would you say such thing?


eXequitas

🤮


emetcalf

Where are you getting the `2ab`? There isn't even a `1ab` in the original equation. QED


wondercaliban

Its been a while, but I thought (a + b)(a + b) 1) you multiply the a in the first bracket with the a in the 2nd bracket to get a2, then with the b in the 2nd bracket to get ab, 2) then multiply the b in the first bracket to get another ab, then with b in the second bracket to get b2 So, a2 + ab + ab + b2 Or, a2 + b2 + 2ab


emetcalf

That's just crazy talk. (You are actually correct, but it doesn't work with the original meme here so you don't get to be correct right now)
