A proof that $1=2$. May I know why it’s false? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You cannot add '$x$', $x$ number of times without knowing what $x$ exactly is. Hence the differentiation on the RHS has no real meaning.

This fails for many cases like:

$1)$ '$x$' is not an integer.

$2)$ Dependency of $x$ on $x$ which you are not considering when differentiating on RHS.
