Suppose we have the equation:
x=1 now, multiplying L.H.S and R.H.S with 'x' I get;
x2=x
This equation has the roots x=0 and x=1 now if I again multiply with 'x' I get;
x3=x2
This equation has the roots x=0 and x=0 and x=1.
I understand that if x is equal to 0 then repeatedly multiplying with x will give me solutions but why can't x be equal to 1?? for if I continue multiplying with 1 my equation remains correct ???
