You think that's scary, here's one from my Calculus III class in COLLEGE:

On a test, we had to integrate      1
                                ------------
                                 x^2  + 9

Some people actually believed that the above is the same as:

                     1          1
                   -----   +   ---
                    x^2         9

Now, that is bad!
