Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a * 10 ^b

a must be a number between 1 ( including 1 ) and less than 10

12 is greater than 10 so it is not scientific notation

This hyperbola is centered at theorigin. Find its equation.Foci: (-2,0) and (2,0)Vertices: (-1,0) and (1,0)

beks73 [17]

SOLUTION

From the question, the center of the hyperbola is

$\begin{gathered} (h,k),\text{ which is } \\ (0,0) \end{gathered}$

a is the distance between the center to vertex, which is -1 or 1, and

c is the distance between the center to foci, which is -2 or 2.

b is given as

$\begin{gathered} b^2=c^2-a^2 \\ b^2=2^2-1^2 \\ b=\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}$

But equation of a hyperbola is given as

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$

Substituting the values of a, b, h and k, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-0)^2}{1^2}-\frac{(y-0)^2}{\sqrt[]{3}^2}=1 \\ \frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is

$\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1$

Banabas must pay his ex-wife an amount of R350 000 in two years’ time. Calculate the amount that he must invest today to have th

White raven [17]

Answer:

He must invest R297 521 today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Banabas must pay his ex-wife an amount of R350 000 in two years’ time.

This means that $t = 2, A(t) = 350000$
