Wanda is trying to locate the Fermat point $P$ of $\triangle ABC$, where $A$ is at the origin, $B$ is at $(8,-1)$, and $C$ is at

$(5,4)$ (the Fermat point is the point such that the sum of its distances from the vertices of a triangle is minimized). She guesses that the point is at $P = (4,2)$, and computes the sum of the distances from $P$ to the vertices of $\triangle ABC$. If she obtains $m + n\sqrt{5}$, where $m$ and $n$ are integers, what is $m + n$?

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used to find the distances to each of the points:

 d = √((x2-x1)² +(y2-y1)²)

 d = √((4-0)² +(2-0)²) +√((4-8)² +(2-(-1))²) +√((4-5)² +(2-4)²)

 d = √20 +√25 +√5 = 2√5 +5 +√5

 d = 5 +3√5

Comparing to the form

 d = m +n√5

we see that m=5, n=3. The the sum m+n = 5+3 = 8.

(sorry if im wrong)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(3)

Given cosΘ = - \frac{4}{5}

Then by Pythagoras' theorem the third side is 3 ( 3,4, 5 triangle )

Since Θ in second quadrant then sinΘ > 0

sinΘ = \frac{3}{5}

Using the trigonometric identity

sin2Θ = 2sinΘcosΘ, then

sin2Θ = 2 × \frac{3}{5} × - \frac{4}{5} = - \frac{24}{25}

(4)

Using the trigonometric identity

cos(x - y) = cosxcosy + sinxsiny

note cos15° = cos(45 - 30)°

cos(45 - 30) = cos45cos30 + sin45sin30

                    = ( \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}) + (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × \frac{1}{2})

                    = \frac{\sqrt{2(\sqrt{3}+1) } }{4}
