To find the exact position of the rider after the carousel rotates \( \frac{5\pi}{12} \) radians, we can use the parametric equations for the position on a circle based on the angle of rotation.
The position \((x, y)\) of a point on the edge of a circle with radius \( r \) (in this case, \( r = 20 \) feet) can be expressed in terms of the angle \( \theta \) in radians as follows:
\[
x = r \cos(\theta)
\]
\[
y = r \sin(\theta)
\]
Substituting \( r = 20 \) and \( \theta = \frac{5\pi}{12} \):
1. **Calculate \( x \)**:
\[
x = 20 \cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)
\]
2. **Calculate \( y \)**:
\[
y = 20 \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)
\]
To evaluate \( \cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) \) and \( \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) \), we can use the angle sum identities since \( \frac{5\pi}{12} = \frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4} \).
Using trigonometric identities:
\[
\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]
\[
= \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) - \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)
\]
\[
= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}}{4}
\]
For \( \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) \):
\[
\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]
\[
= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)
\]
\[
= \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]
Now substituting back into the parametric equations:
1. **Calculate \( x \)**:
\[
x = 20 \left(\frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}}{4}\right) = 5(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6})
\]
2. **Calculate \( y \)**:
\[
y = 20 \left(\frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}\right) = 5(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})
\]
Thus, the coordinate of the rider after rotating \( \frac{5\pi}{12} \) radians is:
\[
\left(5(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}), 5(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})\right)
\]
**Final answer**:
\[
\left(5(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}), 5(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})\right)
\]
This corresponds to the second option listed:
\[
\left(5(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}), 5(-\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6})\right)
\]
So, the correct answer is:
**left-parenthesis 5 left-parenthesis Start Root 2 End Root plus Start Root 6 End Root right-parenthesis comma 5 left-parenthesis negative Start Root 2 End Root plus Start Root 6 End Root right-parenthesis right-parenthesis**.

Substituting \( r = 20 \) and \( \theta = \frac{5\pi}{12} \):
1. **Calculate \( x \)**:

x = 20 \cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)

\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]
\[
= \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) - \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)
\]
\[
= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}}{4}
\]
For \( \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) \):
\[
\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]
\[
= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)
\]
\[
= \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]
Now substituting back into the parametric equations:
1. **Calculate \( x \)**:
\[
x = 20 \left(\frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}}{4}\right) = 5(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6})
\]
2. **Calculate \( y \)**:
\[
y = 20 \left(\frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}\right) = 5(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})

Thus, the coordinate of the rider after rotating \( \frac{5\pi}{12} \) radians is:
\[
\left(5(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{6}), 5(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})\right)
\]
**Final answer**:

\]
This corresponds to the second option listed:
\[
\left(5(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}), 5(-\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6})\right)
\]
So, the correct answer is:
**left-parenthesis 5 left-parenthesis Start Root 2 End Root plus Start Root 6 End Root right-parenthesis comma 5 left-parenthesis negative Start Root 2 End Root plus Start Root 6 End Root right-parenthesis right-parenthesis**.
