The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks "what is the integral of x squared?".

I'm Glad you knew what the heck you were talking about
lol at being intentionally obtuse after 4 minutes of explanation.
Bro I have a thing to share
Let's say there is an equation
X²=x
So we can write it as
X×X=X
Now we can say
X=X/X----------------(1)
Now we go to the equation again
X²=X
Now
X²-X=0
Now X(X-1)=0
So we can say
X is either 1 or 0
Now we go to our equation no. 1
X=X/X
If we put X=1 then the equation is will be normal
1=1/1
Or
1=1
But if we put the 2nd value of x then it hits different
0=0/0
?? Anything divides by 0 is undefined .
So that means undefined=0 ??😅
(Correct me if I am wrong)

Isnt it literally an identity that 1+tan^2a=sec^2a?
Yes
And this is the derivation of said identity
Yes, but then the video would be 45 seconds long instead of 4 minutes.
@@HackersRUsTo prove identity 1+tan²C = sec²C:
Start with the Pythagorean identity on the unit circle:
sin²C + cos²C = 1.
Divide thru (all terms, both sides) by cos²C:
sin²C/cos²C + cos²C/cos²C = 1/cos²C,
then using a²/b²= (a/b)² and cancelling, we get:
(sinC/cosC)² + 1 = (1/cosC)².
Subbing sinC/cosC = tanC & 1/cosC = secC, we get:
tan²C + 1 = sec²C.
Done.
True
It means "I'm Sec C (sexy) and I know it".
He said it was funny because they didn't fully simplify it, but it's the Sec C you explained that's the funny part.
how exciting
You don't need math to know, that the sentence is supposed to be "I'm sexy and I know it" - from the semi-famous song.
