Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.

Solve for x: sinx-cosx=√2
kvv77 [185]
<span>sinx - cosx =sqrt(2)
Taking square on both sides:
</span>(sinx - cosx)^2 =sqrt(2)^2<span>
sin^2(x) -2cos(x)sin(x) + cos^2(x) = 2
Rearranging the equation:
sin^2(x)+cos^2(x) -2cos(x)sin(x)=2
As,
</span><span>sin^2(x)+cos^2(x) = 1
</span><span>So,
1-2sinxcosx=2
 1-1-2sinxcosx=2-1
 -</span><span>2sinxcosx = 1
</span><span>Using Trignometric identities:
-2(0.5(sin(x+x)+sin(x-x))=1 
-sin2x+sin0=1
As,
sin 0 = 0
So,
sin2x+0 = -1
</span><span>sin2x = -1</span><span>
2x=-90 degrees + t360
Dividing by 2 on both sides:
x=-45 degrees + t180
or 2x=270 degrees +t360
x= 135 degrees + t180 where t is integer</span>
