1.
(1 + sin a - cos²a) / [(1 + sin a) cos a]
= [1 + sin a - (1 - sin²a)] / [(1 + sin a) cos a]
= [1 + sin a - 1 + sin²a)] / [(1 + sin a) cos a]
= (sin a + sin²a) / [(1 + sin a) cos a]
= [(1 + sin a) sin a] / [(1 + sin a) cos a]
= sin a / cos a
= tan a

2.
Thesum of all positive terms
= 4 + 1 + (1/4) + ......

It is the sum to infinitive terms of a geometric sequence
with first term (a) = 4 and common ratio (r) = (1/4)

The sum of all positive terms
= a / (1 - r)
= 4 / [1 - (1/4)]
= 4 / (3/4)
= 4 x (4/3)
= 16/3

======
3.
Volumeof the hemisphere = 3 x (volume of the solid circular cones)
(1/2) x (4/3)πr³ = 3 x [(1/3)πr²h]
(2/3)r = h
r/h = 3/2
r : h = 3 : 2

=====
4.
Let d be the common difference of the arithmetic sequence.

a1 = a2 - 6
a1 = (a1 + d) - 6
d = 6

a1 + a2 + a3 + ...... + a28 = 1624
n[2a1 + (n - 1)d]/2 = 1624
28[2a1 + (28 - 1)*6]/2 = 1624
2a1 + 27*6 = 116
2a1 = -46
a1 = -23
