The correct answer is D
(any fraction) * (any decimal) = rational answer
For example: (3/5) * 0.11111(1)= rational
PS: any fraction is a rational number if a nominator is an integer and a denominator is a natural number

$\sf{Given : 3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{(1 - sinx)(1 + sinx)}}$

We know that : (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{1 - sin^2x}}$

We know that : 1 - sin²x = cos²x

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{cos^2x}}$

$\sf{\bigstar \ \ We \ know \ that : \boxed{\sf{\dfrac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x}}}$

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = 2sec^2x}$

We know that : sec²x = 1 + tan²x

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 =2(1 + tan^2x)}$

$\implies \sf{2 + 2tan^2x - 3 tanx - 7 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tan^2x - 3 tanx - 5 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tan^2x - 5tanx + 2tanx - 5 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tanx(tanx + 1) - 5(tanx + 1) = 0}$

$\implies \sf{(tanx + 1)(2tanx - 5) = 0}$

$\implies \sf{tanx = -1 \ (or) \ tanx = \dfrac{5}{2} }$

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

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

392 / 500 double and take one decimal place to see percentage

52/500

56/500 e.g. 56*2 = 112 now take 1 decimal so it is 11.2%

now divide each by 20
