A triangular pyramid is cut by a plane. In which case is the cross section a quadrilateral?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(D) is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section will be a quadrilateral when the intersecting plane forms a closed four sided polygon along with the pyramid.

A triangular pyramid has four faces.  So, to form four straight lines and therefore a quadrilateral, the intersecting plane must intersect all four faces.

A. In this case the plane will only intersect one side of the pyramid so four sided polygon can't be formed.

B. It will only intersect the two sides of the pyramid but the cross section will not be a quadrilateral.

C. In this case the plane will intersect three sides of the pyramid so the cross section will be a triangle not a quadrilateral.

D. In this case the plane intersects all the four faces forming a closed polygon of 4 straight lines so the cross section will be a quadrilateral.

So, the Correct Option is (D) : When the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid, the cross section of the triangular pyramid will be a quadrilateral.

Homework Jim Thompson! PART 2

Problem 2

Part (a)

The 3D shape formed when rotating around the y axis forms a pencil tip

The shape formed when rotating around the x axis is a truncated cone turned on its side.

------------

Part (b)

Check out the two diagrams below.

============================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Choice A and Choice C

-----------------------

Explanation:

Think of stacks of coins. Let's say we had 2 stacks of 10 quarters each. The quarters are identical, so they must produce identical volumes. Those sub-volumes then add up to the same volume for each stack. Now imagine one stack is perfectly aligned and the other stack is a bit crooked. Has the volume changed for the crooked stack? No, it hasn't. We're still dealing with the same amount of coins and they yield the same volume.

For more information, check out Cavalieri's Principle.

With all that in mind, this leads us to choice C. If the bases are the same, and so are the heights, then we must be dealing with the same volumes.

On the other hand, if one base is wider (while the heights are still equal) then the wider based block is going to have more volume. This leads us to choice A.

What is the end behavior of the function f of x equals 3 times the cube root of x? as x → –[infinity], f(x) → –[infinity], and a
geniusboy [140]

The function f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{x} is a cube root function and the function end behavior is: x → + ∞, f(x) → + ∞, and as x → - ∞, f(x) → + ∞

<h3>What is end behavior?</h3>
  • The end behavior of a function f defines the behavior of the function's graph at the "ends" of the x-axis.
  • In other words, the end behavior of a function explains the graph's trend when we look at the right end of the x-axis (as x approaches +) and the left end of the x-axis (as x approaches ).

To determine the end behavior:

  • The equation of the function is given as: f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{x}
  • To determine the end behavior, we plot the graph of the function f(x).
  • We can see from the accompanying graph of the function:
  • As x approaches infinity, so does the function f(x), and vice versa.
  • As a result, the function end behavior is:  

x → + ∞, f(x) → + ∞, and as x → - ∞, f(x) → + ∞

Therefore, the function f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{x} is a cube root function and the function end behavior is: x → + ∞, f(x) → + ∞, and as x → - ∞, f(x) → + ∞

The complete question is given below:

What is the end behavior of the function f of x equals negative 4 times the cube root of x?

As x → –∞, f(x) → –∞, and as x → ∞, f(x) → ∞.

As x → –∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → ∞, f(x) → –∞.

As x → –∞, f(x) → 0, and as x → ∞, f(x) → 0.

As x → 0, f(x) → –∞, and as x → ∞, f(x) → 0.
