Commercial passenger flights always list the time AT THE PLACE where
the event took place.  The data you gave in your question means that the
flight departed ORD at 8:00 AM Central (Chicago) Time, and arrived LAX
at 12:00 PM Pacific (Los Angeles) time.

Since the trip spanned two time zones, it was actually in the air for 6 hours.

Average speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance)

                         = (1,700 miles) / (6 hours)  =  (283 and 1/3) miles per hour.

====================================

But that wasn't what you had in mind, was it.

You meant that the flight took 4 hours.

In that case, the average speed was

                   (1,700 miles) / (4 hours)  =  425 miles per hour.

This is a much more reasonable average speed for a long haul
passenger jet airliner.

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x - 4y = 10?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1/2

or

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to get the line in the form of y = mx + b

2x - 4y = 10                  Subtract 3x from both sides

-4y = - 2x + 10              3x on the left disappears. Divide by - 4

-4y/-4 =-2x/-4 +10/-4    Do the division

y = (2/4)x - 2.5

y = (1/2)x - 2.5

The slope is the number in front of the x

y = 0.5x - 2.5

Solve log_x(1/32)=-5
leva [86]
Remember

log_a(b)=c translates to a^c=b

so
log_x(\frac{1}{32})=-5 translates to x^{-5}=\frac{1}{32}
remember, if a^b=c^b when b=b, then a=c
and x^-m=1/(x^m)

hmm
x^{-5}=\frac{1}{32}
\frac{1}{x^5}=\frac{1}{32}
32=x⁵
5th root both sides
2=x
x=2

Is 5/6 greater than 1/2
Alinara [238K]
Yes it is. We know this cause 1 is smaller than 5 and 6 is bigger than 2. 

Hope This Helps!

Simplify: √(1+x) /√(1+x) - √(1 -x) - 1-x /√(1 -x) + x -1
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: [√(1+x)/{√(1+x) - √(1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

Here, we see that in first fraction the denominator is √(1+x)-√(1-x) , as we know that the rational factor √(a+b)-√(a-b) is √(a+b)+(a-b). Therefore, the rationalising factor of √(1+x)-√(1-x) is √(1+x)+√(1-x). On rationalising the denominator them.

= [√(1+x)/{√(1+x)-√(1-x)}] * [{√(1+x)+√(1-x)}/{√(1+x)+√(1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

= [{√(1+x)(√(1+x)+√(1-x)}/{√(1+x)-√(1-x) - √(1+x)+√(1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

Now, comparing the first fraction denominator with (a-b)(a+b), we get

  • a = √(1+x)
  • b = √(1-x)
  • a = √(1+x)
  • b = √(1-x)

Using identity (a-b)(a+b) = a² - b², we get

= [{√(1+x)(√(1+x)+√(1-x)}/{√(1+x)² - √(1-x)²}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

= [{√(1+x)(√(1+x)+√(1-x)}/{(1+x) - (1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

Now, multiply the numerator on both brackets.

= [{√(1+x) * √(1+x) + √(1+x) * √(1-x)}/{(1+x) - (1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

Comparing the first fraction numerator with (a+b)(a+b) , we get

  • a = √1
  • b = √x

Using identity (a+b)(a+b) = (a+b)², we get

= [{√(1+x)²+ √(1+x) * √((1+x)(1-x))}/{(1+x) - (1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

Cancel out the first fraction denominator numbers 1 and -1 to get 0.

= [{(1+x)+√(1-x²)}/(x+x+0)] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

= [{(1+x)+√(1-x²)}/(x+x)] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

= [{(1+x)+√(1-x²)}/2x] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}]

= [{1+x+√(1-x²)}{√(1-x²)x-1}-{(1-x)(2x)}]/[2x{√(1-x²)+x-1}]

= [√(1-x²) + x-1 + x√(1-x²) + x² - x + {√(1-x²)}² + x√(1-x²)-√(1-x²) - 2x + 2x²]/[2x{√(1-x²)+x-1}]

= {(√(1-x²) 2x -1 + 3x² + 2x√(1-x²) + 1-x² - √(1-x²)}/[2x{√(1-x²)+x-1}]

Cancel out √(1-x) and -√(1-x) in numerator.

= {-2x - 1 + 2x√(1-x²) + 3x² + 1 - x²}/[2x{√(1-x²)}+x-1}]

Cancel out -1 and 1 in numerator to get 0.

= [2x√(1-x²) - 2x + 2x²}/[2x{√(1-x²)+x-1}]

= {2x{√(1-x²)} + x - 1}]/[2x{√(1-x²)}+x-1}

= 1

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u> Hence, the simplified form of the expression [√(1+x)/{√(1+x) - √(1-x)}] - [(1-x)/{√(1-x²) + x -1}] is 1.
