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)/∆

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:
Semmy [17]

I found this!!!!

The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

- The scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=

hypotenuse

adjacent

and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.

Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

This is:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=

hypotenuse

adjacent

In this case:

\begin{gathered}\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC\end{gathered}

α=x\°

adjacent=BC=y

hypotenuse=AC

Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=

hypotenuse

adjacent

, and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":

cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}cos(x\°)=

AC

y

AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}AC=

cos(x\°)

y
