Mr. Israel Ramirez demonstrates how 1 is equal to 2 through an
algebraic proof. He is really showing why dividing by 0 is not a
valid operation and he is also showing the general use of operations
in proofs. Questions this video answers Why is dividing by zero an
invalid operation? What are some mathematical operations that are
not allowed to be performed on an equation? Can I perform any
operation on any equation? Can I multiply both sides of an equation
by any number I chose? Can I add any number to both sides of an
equation? Can I subtract any number to both sides of an equation?
Can I divide both sides of an equation by any number I chose? What
other ways can I write the number zero? What does zero look like?
In this video, I like that Mr. Ramirez write this with somewhat of a formal proof layout, naming the steps he took on one side of the math. I also like that the video works so well without words. Though there is no speaking, it still is able to communicate the idea Mr. Ramirez was trying to get across.
