Answer:

  • cookie: $1.25
  • cupcake: $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a cookie and a cupcake, respectively.

  4x +3y = 13.25

  5x +2y = 11.75 . . . . . . the system of equations

___

By Cramer's rule:

  x = (3(11.75) -2(13.25))/(3(5) -2(4)) = 8.75/7 = 1.25

  y = (13.25(5) -11.75(4))/7 = 19.25/7 = 2.75

The cost of one cookie is $1.25; the cost of one cupcake is $2.75.

_____

Cramer's rule gives the solution to the system of equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

as ...

  ∆ = bd -ea

  x = (bf -ec)/∆

  y = (cd -fa)/∆

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (10, 24) and passes through the origin.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A )  The Equation of the circle (x−10)2+(y−24)2=676

Step-by-step explanation:

step1:-

The equation of the circle whose center is (a,b) and radius r is

(x-a)^{2} +(y-b)^{2} =r^{2}

(x-10)^{2}+(y-24)^{2}  =676

in this circle equation centre is (g,f) = (10,24)

and formula of radius of a circle is

r = \sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2} -c }

Step2:-

The Equation of the circle (x−10)^2+(y−24)^2=676
