$A$ standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by $y(x, t) = 0.5 \sin(\frac{5\pi}{4}x) \cos(200\pi t)$. What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive $x$ direction in $m/s$? ($x$ and $t$ are in meter and second,respectively.)
