The only math term I can think of is geometry and it means when a solid is cut through parallel to the base.
EDIT: After further research since it was all I could think of. This is the only math term for what you are looking for.
Answer:
- 3a³ + 5a² - 3a + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a³ - 2a + 5) - (4a³ - 5a² + a - 2)
Distribute both parenthesis noting the second is distributed by - 1
= a³ - 2a + 5 - 4a³ + 5a² - a + 2 ← collect like terms
= (a³ - 4a³ ) + 5a² + (- 2a - a) + (5 + 2)
= - 3a³ + 5a² - 3a + 7
3 1/4 times 4 is 16 then time 5 1/2 =71.5
8y - 11y + 6
Combine like terms
-3y + 6 is the simplified answer.
As points, x-intercepts take the form

, so to find the intercepts we can set

and solve for

.

From the first equation alone, we already know that

is a solution, which means one intercept is

.
The second equation gives

so that the second intercept occurs at

.
So if

and

, we have

, giving C as the answer.
