If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone, the resulting curve will be a <u>parabola</u>.

A parabola is curved from one end and open from other end, therefore it would fit the best.

Hope I could help! :)

<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone, the resulting curve will be a: Parabola.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If a plane is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cone then the resulting cross section will be a <em>Circle.</em>

If the plane is placed slightly tilted across the axis of rotation of the cone then the resulting cross section will be a<em> Ellipse.</em>

If a plane is placed such that it is parallel to the side of the cone i.e. the edge of a cone then the resulting cross section is <em>Parabola.</em>

Answer:

(p^2−6) (1-q(p^2-6))

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2−6−q·(p^2−6)^2

Put parentheses around the P^2-6 at the beginning of the expression

(p^2-6) -q (p^2−6)^2

Factor out (p^2−6)
