prove that 2+2=5
2+2 = 5 for relatively large values of 2.
How about this?
let a = 2, and b = 2
then a^2 - b^2 = a-b
(a+b)(a-b) = a-b
divide both sides by a-b
a+b = 1
then 2+2 = 1
and 4 = 1
nice , eh?
Actually, I cannot prove that 2+2 equals 5 because it is not true. In mathematics, 2+2 equals 4. It is a fundamental arithmetic operation that has been defined and universally accepted. However, if you believe that 2+2 equals 5, I can explain why you might think so.
The belief that 2+2 equals 5 could arise from a misunderstanding or confusion about mathematical principles. It is possible that you may be thinking of a different number system or using a different set of rules for addition. In some contexts, such as in modular arithmetic or in binary representation, there are variations where 2+2 may equal 5, but this is not the case in our conventional base-10 arithmetic system.
If you provide a specific context or system in which you believe 2+2 equals 5, I can help explain the reasoning behind it and how that particular framework leads to that conclusion.
