Has there ever been a bigger troll in the world of mathematics?

Let's Discuss.
>>
>>7920511
i thought math used numbers?
>>
>>7920511
>a bigger troll
bigger troll is not better troll
>>
>>7920511
This is false, because a valid representation of n is infinity, which will make both sides infinity and thus equal to each other.
>>
>>7921288
>infinity is an element of the natural set
>(you)
>>
>>7921300
Not bait, I'm just speaking on a subject in which I have no education. Is n supposed to mean natural set rather than being some random variable?
>>
>>7921302
no you are right in that n is just a random variable

op didn't define n to be from any set
>>
>>7920511
x = 1
y = 2
z = 3
n = 4

1^4 + 2^4 ≠ 3^4
1 + 16 ≠ 81
17 ≠ 81
True
>>
>>7920511
that pics wrong

for example let n = 3 then

x^3 + y^3 = z^3 has a solution

1^3 + 1^3 = 2 so z = 3rd root of 2. which is about 1.26
>>
>>7921302
>I'm just speaking on a subject in which I have no education
this might be a problem.
>>
>>7920511
you speak about what or who? Fermat? Wiles?

How is this a troll? It seems fairly obvious, but unfortunately my proof is over the character limit.
>>
all values of x,y and z are supposed to be integers by the way if you guys are this memey
>>
>>7920511
∄x,y,z,n∈ℕ, n>2: x^n+y^n=z^n.
>>
>>7921646
integers only faggot
>but you knew that
>>
>>7920511
Fermat? Of course he is a troll.

I'm reading a Calculus book that told me, even though I knew the result since high school, that Fermat proved that where f has max/min points, f' = 0

Really, that was the great mathematician? Even a moron could see that at max points the tangent line would be perfectly straight, making the line

y = a where a is some constant.

For this to happen see the line equation y - a = m(x + b) and notice that the only way for that to equal a is when m=0 so obviously the slope is 0.

Topkek is this guy even a mathematician? Are you sure he wasnt just an engineer? Top fucking kekkeronis.

>>7923157
>Fermat proved that where f has max/min points, f' = 0
No.
It's an immediate consequence of the mean value theorem
>>
>>7923203
THEOREM 5.1.1 Fermat’s Theorem If f(x) has a local extremum at x = a and
f is differentiable at a, then f
0
(a) = 0.
>>
>>7923157
1) This isn't a proof of his theorem.
2) Fermat died before differential calculus was invented.
3) Fermat is considered a great mathematician for more than just this one theorem.
>>
>>7923157
most things taught to you seem obvious after the fact.
How many novel things have you discovered on your own?
