When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

Confirm that f and g are inverses by showing that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.
maks197457 [2]
F(g(x)) = [(-7x-8)/(x-1) - 8} / [(-7x - 8)/(x-1) + 7] =

[(-7x - 8 - 8(x-1)) / (x-1)] / [(-7x - 8 + 7(x-1)) / (x-1)] = (-15x) / (-15) = x.

g(f(x)) = [-7*(x-8)/(x+7) - 8] / [(x-8)/(x+7) - 1] =

[(-7x + 56 -8*(x+7)) / (x+7)] / [(x - 8 - (x + 7)) / (x+7)] = (-15x) / (-15) = x.

So since f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x we can conclude that f and g are inverses.

INCREDIBLY URGENT!
klemol [59]

Answer:

a) By graphing just one interval of length T. b) Infinite number of angles, c) Infinite times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any function is periodical when:

f(t) = f(t+i\cdot T), \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

Where T is the period of the function. The periodicity of the function allows us to limit the graphing of the function to just an interval of one period and according to the definition, you can expect same output with n different angles (infinite number of angles and same output infinite times).

How do u solve this equation
galina1969 [7]
Hi

So first off, you don't want a negative 6/5y

So you move it to the other side to make it positive, now your equation is

24=6/5y

Now divide both sides by 6/5 to get y by itself

y=20

Hope this helps
