My favorite math joke: Two mathematicians sitting in a diner and one first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math. The first mathematician wanders off to the bathroom, so the second guy calls over their waitress. He tells her that in a few minutes, when his friend has returned, he is going to call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer "one third x cubed." She repeats "one third ex cubed?" "Yes, that's right," he says. So she agrees to say it. The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks "what is the integral of x squared?". The waitress says "one third x cubed" and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder "plus a constant, asshole"

Bro I have a thing to share
Let's say there is an equation
X²=x
So we can write it as
X×X=X
Now we can say
X=X/X----------------(1)
Now we go to the equation again
X²=X
Now
X²-X=0
Now X(X-1)=0
So we can say
X is either 1 or 0
Now we go to our equation no. 1
X=X/X
If we put X=1 then the equation is will be normal
1=1/1
Or
1=1
But if we put the 2nd value of x then it hits different
0=0/0
?? Anything divides by 0 is undefined .
So that means undefined=0 ??😅

Isnt it literally an identity that 1+tan^2a=sec^2a?
Yes
And this is the derivation of said identity
Yes, but then the video would be 45 seconds long instead of 4 minutes.
@@HackersRUsTo prove identity 1+tan²C = sec²C:
Start with the Pythagorean identity on the unit circle:
sin²C + cos²C = 1.
Divide thru (all terms, both sides) by cos²C:
sin²C/cos²C + cos²C/cos²C = 1/cos²C,
then using a²/b²= (a/b)² and cancelling, we get:
(sinC/cosC)² + 1 = (1/cosC)².
Subbing sinC/cosC = tanC & 1/cosC = secC, we get:
tan²C + 1 = sec²C.
Done.
