By factorizing the left hand side and using sum of difference square for left hand side, we have:
Dividing both side by (x-x), gives:
Dividing both side by x, to get:
What is wrong with this proof? Can we call this a false proof or class fallacy?
Is this really a proof? As for me, I dont know. What about you?
