R, which is the rate is 20%.

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is the interest on a sum of money invested or borrowed for a specific period of time.

The sum invested is called the principal.

Analysis:

simple interest (I) = PRT/100 = 300

P = principal = 3000

R = rate = ?

T = 0.5 year

300 = 3000 x R x 0.5/100

R = 20%

Answer:

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quintillion = 10¹⁸ or (1000000000000000000)

∴ 12 quintillion = 12 × 10¹⁸

12 quintillion = 10,000 × Number of ants on Earth

Let the number of ants on Earth = n

12 quintillion = 10,000 × n

dividing both sides by 10,000

12 quintillion ÷ 10,000 = n

$n = \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10,000} \\n = \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10^{4}}\\n = 12\ \times\ \frac{10^{18}}{10^{4}} \\applying\ the\ second\ law\ of\ indices\ (\frac{x^m}{x^n} = x ^{m-n})\\ n = 12\ \times\ 10^{(18 - 4)\\n = 12\ \times 10^{14}\\in\ standard\ form\\n = 1.2\ \times 10\ \times\ 10^{14}\\\therefore n = 1.2\ \times\ 10^{15}$

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵

Write the equation of the hyperbola with foci at (1, 5) and (7, 5) and with vertices at (2, 5) and (6, 5).

mash [69]

If you plot the points given on a coordinate plane you see that this is a hyperbola that is is horizontal in nature, meaning it opens side to side, not up and down. We can determine the center of it by taking the point equidistant from the vertices, which is (4, 5), the h and k of our center, respectively. Also, the equation looks like this when it is horizontal: $\frac{(x-h) ^{2} }{ a^{2} } - \frac{(y-k) ^{2} }{ b^{2} } =1$ . a is the distance between the center and the vertices, so our a = 2, and c is the distance between the center and the foci, so our c = 3. We need to find b now, using Pythagorean's theorem. $( 2)^{2} + b^{2} =( 3)^{2}$ and $b= \sqrt{5}$ . Now we have everything we need to rewrite the equation: $\frac{(x-4) ^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y-5) ^{2} }{5} =1$
