Can someone me in this trig question, ?a person is on the outer edge of a carousel with a radius of 20 feet that is rotating counterclockwise around a point that is centered at the origin. what is the exact value of the position of the rider after the carousel rotates 5pi/12

The exact value of the position of the rider after the carousel rotates 5π/12 is 5 (-√2 + √6), 5(√2 + √6).

Since the position of the carousel is (x, y) = (20cosθ, 20sinθ) and we need to find the position when θ = 5π/12 = 5π/12 × 180 = 75°

So, substituting the value of θ into the positions, we have

(20cos75°, 20sin75°)

20cos75° = 20cos(45 + 30)

Using the compound angle formula

cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB

With A = 45 and B = 30

cos(45 + 30) = cos45cos30 - sin45sin30

= 1/√2 × √3/2 - 1/√2 × 1/2

= 1/2√2(√3 - 1)

= 1/2√2(√3 - 1) × √2/√2

= √2(√3 - 1)/4

= (√6 - √2)/4

= (-√2 + √6)/4

So, 20cos75° = 20 × (-√2 + √6)/4

= 5 (-√2 + √6)

20sin75° = sin(45 + 30)

Using the compound angle formula

sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

With A = 45 and B = 30

sin(45 + 30) = sin45cos30 + cos45sin30

= 1/√2 × √3/2 + 1/√2 × 1/2

= 1/2√2(√3 + 1)

= 1/2√2(√3 + 1) × √2/√2

= √2(√3 + 1)/4

= (√6 + √2)/4

= (√2 + √6)/4

So, 20sin75° = 20 × (√2 + √6)/4

= 5(√2 + √6)

Thus, (20cos75°, 20sin75°) = 5 (-√2 + √6), 5(√2 + √6).

So, the exact value of the position of the rider after the carousel rotates 5π/12 is 5 (-√2 + √6), 5(√2 + √6).
