I believe the ratio in simplest form is 1.3 to 0.7.

we can start off by convering those decimals to a fraction, we have one decimal on each, so we'll use one zero on the denominator, therefore.

$\bf 5.\underline{2}\implies \cfrac{52}{1\underline{0}}~\hspace{15em} 2.\underline{8}\implies \cfrac{28}{1\underline{0}}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\cfrac{5.2}{2.8}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{52}{10}~~}{\frac{28}{10}}\implies \cfrac{52}{10}\cdot \cfrac{10}{28}\implies \cfrac{52}{28}\implies \cfrac{13}{7}$

<h3>Answer:</h3>

➲ ( 1 + sec x )( cosec x - cot x ) = tan x

Solving for L.H.S

$\implies\quad \sf{(1+sec\:x)(cosec\:x-cot\:x) }$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(1+\dfrac{1}{cos\:x}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{sin\:x}-\dfrac{cos\:x}{sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{1+cos\:x}{cos\:x}\right)\left(\dfrac{1-cos\:x}{sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{1-cos^2 x}{cos\:x.sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left( \dfrac{sin^2 x}{cos\:x.sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left( \dfrac{sin\:x.\cancel{sin\:x}}{cos\:x.\cancel{sin\:x}}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\left( \dfrac{sin\:x}{cos\:x}\right) }$

$\implies\quad\underline{\underline{\pmb{ \sf{tan\:x}}} }$

➲ ( 1+ sec x )( 1- cos x ) = sin x. tan x

Solving for L.H.S

$\implies\quad \sf{ ( 1+ sec\:x)(1-cos\:x)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\left(1+\dfrac{1}{cos\:x} \right) \left( 1-cos\:x\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{cos\:x+1}{cos\:x} \right)(1-cos \:x)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\dfrac{1-cos^2 x}{cos\:x} }$

$\implies\quad \sf{\dfrac{sin^2x}{cos\:x} }$

$\implies\quad \sf{sin\:x.\left( \dfrac{sin\:}{cos\:x}\right) }$

For the equation x2 = a, describe the values of a that will result in two real solutions, one real solution, and no real solutio

Tasya [4]

The equation given is $x^{2} =a$ where a is some number.
We can solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.

$x=plusminus \sqrt{a}$

Now let's think through what happens for various values of a.

TWO SOLUTIONS
If a is a positive number the above yields two solutions. Take for example:
$x^{2} =49
 \sqrt{49}=7 or -7$
There will be two solutions (one positive and one negative) as there are two numbers (here -7 and +7) that when multiplied by themselves give 49. That is, $7^{2} =49$ and $(-7)^{2}=49$ . The positive root is called the principal root and the negative root is called the secondary root. This will be the case anytime we take the root of a positive number.

ONE SOLUTION
If a = 0 there is only one solution. That is because $x^{2} =0$ and $x= \sqrt{0}$ . Zero is neither positive nor negative and it has only one root which is 0 itself. So in this case there is only one solution and it is 0.

NO (REAL) SOLUTIONS
If a is negative we would be taking the square root of a negative number. There is no (real) number that when multiplied by itself gives a negative number. Take for example $x^{2} =-49$ which gives us $x= \sqrt{-49}$ . The square root of -49 is not 7 because (7)(7)=49 which is positive. The square root of -49 is not -7 because (-7)(-7)=49 which is also positive. There is no real number that gives -49 when multiplied by itself. I say "real" numbers because there do exist imaginary/complex numbers but because of the way the questions was asked I imagine you may not know about these yet.
