Time For Simple Calculus

we know that
d(x^2)/dx = 2x;
now we also know that
x^2 = x*x = (x+x+x+x+x+x+x+-----------)x times;
thus y differentiating both the side
d(x^2)/dx = (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+----------)x times;
2x = x;
2 = 1
:(
what the hell is this
think about it
I will be happy if you prove it wrong because i dont want my studied mathematics to be a waste

  1. reply it i will post my comments at last its an easy answer

  2. adding x number of times is also a function of x and needs to be differentiated separately.

  3. see
    y=x;
    on diffrentiating we get 1;
    n here no probs in its domain
    while if it iz written as
    y=1+1+1......X times
    on diff. we get zero....
    because the second function has integral
    domain,,,
    and iz non diffrentaiable,,,,
    hence da ans to above ques qz wel,,

  4. i liked the response for this question
    but sorry friends for my replies we have to wait at least a week as i want more people to try on this

    I would also request vaarij to post his views as i want every body to know about everybody's view

    dont just solve it verbally use the facilities of web 2.0 :) ;)

  5. Both Anshul and Pankaj are right
    but clearing the anshul's oint actually addng any thing x times is also a function whose differentiation is not zero adding n times (where n is a contant is also a function) with zero differentiation

    interpretation 2
    Pankaj is also right because adding anuthing x times is only valid for intergers and not the real nos
    so the doimain is discrete and therefore not differentiable

    interpretation 3
    one of my friends again argued that instead of x times we can also right (x+x+x+x+x+....)[x] times + x*{x}

    where [] greatest integer function
    {} fractional part

    and according to him this covers the whole domain

    so my friend lets start differentiating it

    (1+1+1+1+1.....)[x] times + 1*{x}+x*d({x})/dx
    = [x] + {x} + x = x+x = 2x = lhs

    d({x}/dx is diffrentiable at non integer domain which is continuous between 2 integers

    so thus if we take {x} into account we will get answer for real nos.


    The graph will be posted in the next post
