Prove that 1+1=2 (mathematically).
Answers
Answer:
there is no proof of this mate
bcoz we r studying this from childhood and it has no proof
1+1=2
stop putting this type of question here
Hey mate!!
here's your answer...
»The proof starts from the Peano Postulates, which define the natural
The proof starts from the Peano Postulates, which define the natural numbers N. N is the smallest set satisfying these postulates:
› P1. 1 is in N.
› P2. If x is in N, then its "successor" x' is in N.
P2. If x is in N, then its "successor" x' is in N. › P3. There is no x such that x' = 1.
› P4. If x isn't 1, then there is a y in N such that y' = x.
P4. If x isn't 1, then there is a y in N such that y' = x. › P5. If S is a subset of N, 1 is in S, and the implication
(x in S => x' in S) holds, then S = N.
»Then you have to define addition recursively:

Then you have to define addition recursively: Def: Let a and b be in N. If b = 1, then define a + b = a' (using P1 and P2). If b isn't 1, then let c' = b, with c in N
b, with c in N (using P4), and define a + b = (a + c)'.
•Then you have to define 2:
Then you have to define 2: Def: 2 = 1'
•2 is in N by P1, P2, and the definition of 2.
•Theorem: 1 + 1 = 2

You also have to define 1 = 0', and 2 = 1'. Then the proof of the Theorem above is a little different:
