When you compare two functions f(x) and g(x), you're looking for a special input such that
Since you have the table with some possible candidates for , you simply have to choose the row that gives values for f(x) and g(x) that are as close as possible (the exact solution would give the same value for f(x) and g(x), so the approximate solution will give values for f(x) and g(x) that are close to each other).
In your table, the values for f(x) and g(x) are closer when x=-0.75

The cone equation gives
which means that the intersection of the cone and sphere occurs at
i.e. along the vertical cylinder of radius
when 
.
We can parameterize the spherical cap in spherical coordinates by
where
and 
, which follows from the fact that the radius of the sphere is 3 and the height at which the sphere and cone intersect is . So the angle between the vertical line through the origin and any line through the origin normal to the sphere along the cone's surface is
Now the surface area of the cap is given by the surface integral,
