Answer:
f(x) – g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 2,
f(x) – g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 - ( 2x^2 + 2)
Distribute the minus sign
f(x) – g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 - 2x^2 - 2
Combine like terms
f(x) – g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3
For the most part, the cross-section formed is a <em>trapezoid</em>, but if the slice passes through the apex of the pyramid, that shape is a <em>triangle</em>.
