To start a new year with the love for math and science, I made a funny solving of a "Today's" problem. Disliking it counts as a like to me :P .
For the introduction of the new year:
You can skip this note if you are not into jokes.
The following steps explain the solving process of the problem (1 Jan 2020) [it is about the no. 2020 we ae doing math with]:
We want to express 2020 in the form of a2−b2 :
- 2020=a2−b2=(a+b)×(a−b)
- Since these are powers, we can use the Yeet.theorem to yeet over the exponent: 2020=2×a−2×b
- 1010=(a−b)
- We repalce (a−b) with 1010 at eq.1 which we get:
- 2020=(a+b)×(1010)
- 2=(a+b) divide both sides by 1010
We have the given system to solve:
{2=(a+b)1010=(a−b)
- 1012=(a+b)+(a−b)
- 1012=2×a
- 506=a
Finding b:
- 1010=(506−b)
- b=−504
But we cannot have negative numbers so b=504.
We have solution that 2020=5062−5042

This is Funny!
"Yeet Theorem" I'm dying
It's even better that it actually works! Good joke.
YEET! lol
Good one!
This is misuse of the Yeet Theorem. The Yeet theorem states that you can yeet the exponents to the end of the equation.

Just saying, this is a joke, I'm not trying to be mean in any way.
I don't get the Yeet Theorem well yeet.

It is a joke; a meme, that represents a 'proof' of a theorem:
read this to understand how it works

It was just a pun. But thank you anyway.
Looks like this year yeeted us as well. Yeet.
Let's list all things happened in 2020: Covid19; coffin dance meme; Fall guys become popular; Among us gets popular; Trump gets Covid19; Random Covid; More Covid lol

You forgot that the sun is getting larger due to the giant phase too and the Nazi zombie outbreak
