Answer:

56/65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

We know what sin(a) and sin(b) are, and to get cos(a), we can take the equation sin²a + cos²a = 1

Thus,

(12/13)² + cos²a = 1

1 - (12/13)² = cos²a

1- 144/169 = cos²a

cos²a = 25/169

cos(a) = 5/13

Similarly,

(3/5)² + cos²b = 1

1 - (3/5)² = cos²b

1 - 9/25 = cos²b

cos²b = 16/25

cos(b) = 4/5

Our answer is

cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

cos(a-b)  = (5/13)(4/5) + (12/13)(3/5)

cos(a-b)  = 20/65 + 36/65

cos(a-b)  = 56/65

Crank

Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.
