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.

Answer:
-2/4, 8/40, 21/30, 9, 9 20/25
Step-by-step explanation:
9/20/25 is a bit greater than 9.
21/30 is 9 away from a whole 8/40 is 32 away from 40 -2/4 is way less because its on the negative side which is like so far away from the other numbers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that among 500 freshmen pursuing a business degree at a university, 315 are enrolled in an economics course, 213 are enrolled in a mathematics course, and 123 are enrolled in both an economics and a mathematics course.
From the above we find that
a) either economics of Math course is

Out of 500 students 405 have taken either Math or Economics
Hence
c) student who have taken neither = 
Exactly one course is either math or economics - both

Answer:
a) maximum; the parabola opens downward
b) positive; it must lie above the x-axis
c) x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. The y-values there are zero.
The "differences" of a function are related to the average slope between adjacent points. Second differences are related to the rate of change of the slope of the function. When <em>second differences are negative</em>, as here, the slope of the quadratic function is decreasing, becoming more negative. We say the <em>curvature</em> of the function is <em>negatve</em>, and that it <em>opens downward</em>.
__
<h3>a, b.</h3>
If the graph of the parabola opens downward, and it crosses the x-axis, it must have a <em>maximum</em> that is a <em>positive value of y</em>.
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The graph of a parabola is symmetrical about its vertex. That means points on the same horizontal line are the same distance from the line of symmetry, which must go through the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint between the two x-intercepts:
x = (-2 +5)/2 = 3/2
The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = 1.5.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The attachment shows a table with three evenly-spaced points on the curve. The calculations show first differences (d1) and second differences (d2). You can see that the sign of the second diffference is negative, in agreement with the given conditions.
