The shape of the cross-section formed is a triangle, when a cone is cut in such a way that the cross-section is perpendicular to the base and it passes through the vertex.

Say, we have a cone as shown below. In the figure, the cone is sliced such that the cut passes the vertex of the cone and is perpendicular to the base of the cone (as shown by the dashed line). The figure thus formed after cutting is in the shape of a triangle.

A triangle because a true cone coming to a discrete point at the apex or vertex and with a plane slicing it perpendicular to the base and through the vertex would have to have the shape of a triangle by construction

Which of the following is not an ordered pair from the function f(x) = 5x - 6?
DerKrebs [107]

We have been given a function f(x) = 5x - 6. We are asked to choose the point from given choices, which is not a solution of given function.

Let us check each given point one by one.

A. (3,9)

f(x) = 5x - 6

9= 5(3)-6

9=15-6

9=9

Since both sides of function are equal, therefore, point (3,9) is the solution of our given function.

B. (1,-1)

f(x) = 5x - 6

-1= 5(1)-6

-1= 5-6

-1=-1

Since both sides of function are equal, therefore, point (1,-1) is the solution of our given function.

C. (5,19)

f(x) = 5x - 6

19= 5(5)-6

19= 25-6

19=19

Since both sides of function are equal, therefore, point (5,19) is the solution of our given function.

D. (4,10)

f(x) = 5x - 6

10= 5(4)-6

10= 20-6

10\neq 14

Since both sides of function are not equal, therefore, point (4,10) is not a solution of our given function and option D is the correct choice.

Find the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 + 8x + 17
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

(-4 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the turning point of any parabola is in its vertex. The x of the vertex can be calculated with the formula:

x = -b/2a

In our case b = 8, a = 1, so:

x = - 8/2 = -4

We plug this value into our original equation and find the y of the vertex:

(-4)^2 + 8(-4) + 17 = 16 - 32 + 17 = 1

Vertex = (-4 ; 1)

iragen [17]
Plugging in (5 weeks, 40 loads) and (10 weeks, 30 loads) into each choice indicates that f(x) = -2x + 50 is the only correct answer.
