Quadratic equation paradoxx2+x+1=0 Let's rewrite our equation in two equivalent forms: 1)x⋅(x+1)=−1 2)x+1=−x2 We get: x⋅(−x2)=−1 x3=1 x=1 Triangle paradox
Derivation paradoxConsider any smooth vector function →r(t) s.t. the vector and it's derivation are never equal to zero. We denote vector's length as r=|→r| r2=→r⋅→r 2r⋅˙r=2→r⋅˙→r 2|→r|⋅˙|→r|=2|→r|⋅|˙→r|⋅cos(∠→r˙→r) We see that cosinus of the angle between →r and it's derivation ˙→r is equal to 1. So at any time t vector →r is parallel with it's derivation ˙→r. Nonsense! Where is the mistake? Ellipse paradoxConsider any ellipse x=acosφ,y=bsinφ We know that the area of ellipse is S=πab. Let's try to derive the formula for this area: πab=S=2π∫012r2dφ=2π∫012(x2+y2)dφ =2π∫012(a2cos2φ+b2sin2φ)dφ=π2(a2+b2) So we see that ab=a2+b22 It means that a=b, i.e any ellipse is a circle. |
