| mine would be either Goldbach's conjecture or the Riemann hypothesis |

| I just can't get over that tangent doesn't even exist. It's just the ratio of sine against cosine. |

"I just can't get over that tangent doesn't even exist. It's just the ratio of sine against cosine."
... how does that mean it doesn't exist? what makes sine and cosine exist more than tangent? they're both ratios too... in fact, their relationship is tight enough that they're just offset by x = -90 from each other, so you could argue one of them doesn't exist too with that logic. |

y - y(1) = m(x-x(1)) it's like why the extra x and y stuff

sine(x) = cosine(90 - x) or w/e
sine(33) = cos(57) |

| Those aren't unsolved. Any 'problem' about the nature of infinity is not solvable in standard mathematics. There are number spaces known that can deal with these numbers, but not algebra. |

@Prehistoricman
I know. Complex numbers are able to handle it. Just like dual numbers are able to find the end of 0.9999...
I am talking about Real numbers by default though :p |

@cnt it could be 1 or 0, because even though it's 0 parts out of 0 total, there's 0 parts of it |

| 0/0 could technically be all real numbers, because of the fact that 0 can go into 0 infinite number of times. |

If we defined a specific number for 0/0 = x then, since division is, by nature, the inverse of multiplication, then in theory, x * 0 = 0 and only x * 0 = 0. So we'd end up with x+1 * 0 = undefined.
So following that logic if 0/0 was 1 then 2 * 0 = undefined. |

| Mine would have to be the square root of two. |

"Mine would have to be the square root of two."
..? and how is this unsolved? |

umg i have so many Fermat's Last Theorem, Goldbach's conjecture, the Hadamard conjecture, division by 0, the abc conjecture; the list goes on. |

Fermat's is proven... As for division by 0, that's undefined by nature. It's not unsolved. It's undefined. There's a big difference. |

Not really unsolved, but the posts every other week annoy me.
1/3 = 0.333333 recurring
(1/3)*3 = 3/3 = 1 (0.3333333)*3 = 0.99999999 recurring
wut? this annoys me so much. |
