Question

what is 1+1=

I don't have my calculator with me.

Answer 1

Let's see, by "1", I take it you mean the multiplicative identity in a ring. If it is a cyclical ring that is large enough, then the answer is the next element above the multiplicative identity.

In common fields (integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers) the element you seek is called two and is represented by a symbol that comes from an old arabic mark that was notable for having 2 angles (resembling our modern letter Z). With the years and some smoothing, it has become looking like '2'.

In rings (fields that are not Abelian), you would have to identity the multiplicative identity and find out what happens when you add it to itself (adding being defined as the other operation -- fields and rings are defined with two operations, one of them called multiplication with identity '1', the other called addition with idenitty '0', whatever the operations really are). For example, in the ring of square matrices of rank 2, '1' looks like this:

1 0
0 1

Therefore, "1 + 1" will look like this

2 0
0 2

In a group (where only one operation is defined; it can be called addition or multiplication, regardless of what it is), then it gets tricky. The + sign you use would indicate an additive group where the identity is normally identified as '0'. In that case, you'd have to define what this object '1' is.

If you are using the symbol '1' to indicate the identity, then using the identity in an operation with any group member leaves that group member unchanged. Since '1' is a group member, it will be left unchanged if acted upon by the identity '1'.
1 + 1 = 1 (the '1' was left unchanged by the '1')

I would see that in the 'Klein group', even though most mathematicians would use a multiplicative-looking operator, not '+'. But let us humor you and define it such that '1' represents the identity. The other members of the group are a, b and c, with the following rules:
a + a = 1
b + b = 1 but b is not equal to a
c + c = 1 but c is not equal to b nor to a
a + b = c = b + a
b + c = a = c + b
c + a = b = a + c
1 + a = a ('1' being the identity, it leave the other operand unchanged)
(From this, you can, of course, conclude that a+b+c=1)


If you are in the field Z2, a set that contains only two element, normally called 0 and 1, along with two operations being the usual addition (+) and the usual multiplication (*), then 1 + 1 is congruent to 0.

Since 0 is the additive identity and the identity is unique, then 1 cannot be the identity. That being the case, adding 1 to any member must change that member (otherwise 1 would be the identity).
Because of that 1 + 1 CANNOT be 1. Therefore, it must be 0 (the only other member).

1 + 1 = 0

Of course, we could have explored this question in more depth in the 'mathematics' section.

I enjoyed the answer given by Lucas C.

Answer 2

1+1= is a relative concept.

what do you mean by 1+1=?

Is 1+1= edible?

Is 1+1= an animal?

Is 1+1= a Plant?

Is 1+1= your imaginary friend?

Do you think you are so intelligent to know....?

no, but if you mean the total of the numbers, it can equal 1, 10 or 11

Answer 3

11

Answer 4

Nature and god are the same thing, so I do not see what all the fight about? Everyone thinks they are right and they know. Time, space, and all this seperation are illusion. Everything is created out of one energy, I say who cares what the hell they teach in schools at this point. I mean come off it...its mostly all BS anyway. I didnt learn anything worth my time in school. I learned more from walking out deep in nature and eating scared mushrooms. That moment changed my life, I have never seen things in quite the same way since. Time, space, and the concept of the self melted away. I could see what was real and what was fake. Whats fake is much of what they teach you in school....things likes life is about getting a job and trying to make money. If people truley have glimsed truth then you shhould be sicken by the world. I mean look around, every town is strating to look the same....walmart, mcdonalds, shitty housing delvopments. We have become spiritually flat and a bunch of sheep. Why are we tearing the forests down to build pespi cola plants? Lets oepn are eyes and see that we have become a cancer to earth.. Cancer is defined as cells that show traits of uncontrolled groth and intrusion. Cancer is to our body, as what we have become to the earth. If that is true that it could it be okay to ask that maybe we are only a small part to something much bigger? i mean do you think cells have any idea what they do is part of soemthing bigger. What greedy people and cancer cells, do not see, is that if you kill you palce for living, then you are die as well. Maybe that is how thing have to be....all thing must pass. Every thing must die, be it cells, animals, stars, or univeres. Lets quit the blame game then okay? I mean we are all at fault, no one group is to blame. It dosnt matter what you bealive, in only matters how you act

Answer 5

1 + 1 = 3, for very large values of 1.

Answer 6

1+1=<2,because the result must contain itself.An example might be that when a bar magnet is weighed at 1 gram and weighed when in proximity to an equal in weight magnet the result is less than two grams.

Answer 7

Hardi har har! You people are so ignoranus!. What the hell is the matter with society these days. Can't even do simple math! You are all too busy with your text messaging and halo 3 video gamerz that you can't even do simple grammar problems like what is 1 + 1. If you had an education like yo's truly you would know that the answer is clearly the color "brown"! Duh!
