Looking for insight, need to do a math poem...

[Kevin Palmer]

Basically, for my advanced algebra class I get 5 bonus points if I come up with a poem, song, riddle ect ect...



I am looking for some insight or a direction to head to get me started.



I appreciate your thoughts,

Thanks....

Roses are red

Violets are blue.

It is a rather bad student

who doesn't know 2 + 2!

LOL...



I may find a way to fit that in,,,,

How bout this one, Tell your teacher you can prove 1=2

A high school teacher showed me this. (although there is one part that violates mathematical law, but looks good on paper for most people)





First: a=b≠0





a=b

multiply both sides by a --- a²=ab

subtract b² from both sides --- a²- b² = ab - b²

factor both sides ---- (a + b)(a – b) = b(a – b)

divide both sides by (a-b) ---- (a + b)= b

since a = b --- b + b = b

2b = b

2 = 1

I'm sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three



The three is all that's good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine



For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic



I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality



When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three



As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer



We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands



Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed

How bout this one, Tell your teacher you can prove 1=2

A high school teacher showed me this. (although there is one part that violates mathematical law, but looks good on paper for most people)





First: a=b≠0





a=b

multiply both sides by a --- a�=ab

subtract b� from both sides --- a�- b� = ab - b�

factor both sides ---- (a + b)(a � b) = b(a � b)

divide both sides by (a-b) ---- (a + b)= b

since a = b --- b + b = b

2b = b

2 = 1

a=b

a^2 = ab

(a^2) - b = ab - b

(a^2) - b = b(a - 1)

(a^2)/b - 1 = a -1

(a^2)/b = a

a^2 = ab

a = b



I don't get it :unsure:

Tell your class to think of a number between 1-100

Double it

Add 100

Divide the number they have now by 2

Subtract the first number they thought of

The answer is 50



Whatever number you tell them to add will always be half of that in the end.
