Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the

y meet after 4 hours of riding.
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? Put both values in the answerbox, separated with a comma, and select the appropriate units.

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

Find <span>tan<span>(<span><span>5π</span>12</span>)</span></span> and sin ((5pi)/12)
Answer: <span>±<span>(2±<span>√3</span>)</span>and±<span><span>√<span>2+<span>√3</span></span></span>2</span></span>

Explanation:

Call tan ((5pi/12) = t. 
Use trig identity: <span><span>tan2</span>a=<span><span>2<span>tana</span></span><span>1−<span><span>tan2</span>a</span></span></span></span>
<span><span>tan<span>(<span><span>10π</span>12</span>)</span></span>=<span>tan<span>(<span><span>5π</span>6</span>)</span></span>=−<span>1<span>√3</span></span>=<span><span>2t</span><span>1−<span>t2</span></span></span></span>
<span><span>t2</span>−2<span>√3</span>t−1=0</span>

<span>D=<span>d2</span>=<span>b2</span>−4ac=12+4=16</span>--> <span>d=±4</span>
