The expression that is not a variation of the Pythagorean identity is the third option.
<h3>
What is the Pythagorean identity?</h3>
The Pythagorean identity can be written as:

For example, if we subtract cos^2(x) on both sides we get the second option:

Which is a variation.
Now, let's divide both sides by cos^2(x).

Notice that the third expression in the options looks like this one, but the one on the right side is positive. The above expression is in did a variation of the Pythagorean identity, then the one written in the options (with the 1 instead of the -1) is incorrect, meaning that it is not a variation of the Pythagorean identity.
Concluding, the correct option is the third one.

Do you mean ^2? cause if so... B don't really need crit points to solve, the parabola has a positive slope before x =2
The second matrix system is the correct answer
Answer:
Option B: x > 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A is wrong because
will be 0. So, the inequality can't be divided by 0.
Option C is wrong because 1 will suffice this inequality. 
Option D is wrong because any value in the root has to be greater or equal to 0 (otherwise, it's imaginary number). -1 will give the latter root a value of root-(-3).
Leaving us with only option B, which is the right answer.
