The plane traveling 200 mph, started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they meet, let the 550 mph, have traveled for x hours.

The 200 mph would have traveled (x + 4) hours, since it started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they met, the distance covered is the same:

Distance = Speed * hour

550x = 200(x + 4)

550x = 200x + 200*4

550x = 200x + 800

550x - 200x = 800

350x = 800

x = 800/350

x = 16/7 hours.

The distance travelled = 550x = 550 * 16/7 = 8800/7 miles

The distance = 8800 / 7 miles  or ≈ 1257.14 miles

Hope this explains it.

Find an exact value. Cos 75° negative square root of six plus square root of two quantity square root of six minus square root o
ehidna [41]

Answer:

√2(√3 - 1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an exact value for Cos75°, we use the compound angle formula. Since 75° = 45° + 30°, Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°).

Using Cos(A + B) = CosACosB - SinASinB where A = 45° and B = 30°,  

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°) = Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

Now Cos45° = Sin45° = 1/√2 = √2/2, Cos30° = √3/2 and Sin30° = 1/2.

Substituting these values into the above equation, we have

Cos75° = Cos(45° + 30°)

= Cos45°Cos30° - Sin45°Sin30°

= √2/2 × √3/2 -  √2/2 × 1/2

= √6/4 -√2/4

= √2(√3 - 1)/4
