Step by step explanation :

The two points are ,

P( -3 , -5)
Q (1 , -3)

We can find the midpoint by finding the median of x coordinate and y coordinate .

$\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{-3+1}{2},\dfrac{-5-3}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg( \dfrac{-2}{2},\dfrac{-8}{2}\bigg) \\\\\sf\to\boxed{\orange{\tt Midpoint = (-1,-4)}}$

Help! Prove the equality arccos √(2/3) - arccos (1+√6)/(2*√3) = π/6

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Proof in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Equalities

Those are expressions involving trigonometric functions which must be proven, generally working on only one side of the equality

For this particular equality, we'll use the following equation

$\displaystyle cos(x-y)=cos\ x\ cos\ y+sin\ x\ sin\ y$

The equality we want to prove is

$\displaystyle arccos\ \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}-arccos\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Let's set the following variables:

$\displaystyle x=arccos\ \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}},\ y=arccos(\frac{1+\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}})$

And modify the first variable:

$\displaystyle x=arccos\ \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}=>\ cos\ x= \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}$

Now with the second variable

$\displaystyle y=arccos\ \frac{1+\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}}=>cos\ y=\frac{1+\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{2}}{6}$

Knowing that

$sin^2x+cos^2x=1$

We compute the other two trigonometric functions of X and Y

$\displaystyle sin \ x=\sqrt{1-cos^2\ x}=\sqrt{1-(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3})^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{6}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\displaystyle sin\ y=\sqrt{1-cos^2y}=\sqrt{1-\frac{(\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{2})^2}{36}}}$

$\displaystyle sin\ y=\sqrt{\frac{36-(3+6\sqrt{6}+18)}{36}}=\sqrt{\frac{15-6\sqrt{6}}{36}}$

Computing

$15-6\sqrt{6}=(3-\sqrt{6})^2$

Then

$\displaystyle sin\ y=\frac{3-\sqrt{6}}{6}$

Now we replace all in the first equality:

$\displaystyle cos(x-y)=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}.\frac{\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{2}}{6}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}.\frac{3-\sqrt{6}}{6}$

$\displaystyle cos(x-y)=\frac{3\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3}}{18}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}}{18}$

$\displaystyle cos(x-y)=\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{18}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=cos\ \pi/6$

Thus, proven
