<h3>Answer:   Ellipse</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Imagine that this plane was a saw blade, or a laser, that cut the cone. We would have two pieces and each piece would have a shape of an ellipse on them. The cutting plane would also have the same ellipse shape.

Or you think of the cutting plane as a flat piece of cloth. If we cut everything around the cone, then we would have an ellipse shaped hole as a result.

The reason why we get an ellipse and not a circle is because the plane is angled like that. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the circular base in order to get a circular cross section.

The graph below does not represent a function. Explain why.
Simora [160]

Notice how points T and Z are vertically aligned, or vertically lined up. This is where the graph fails the vertical line test.

The input x = 2 leads to the outputs y = 3 and y = 5 (which are the y coordinates of points Z and T in that order).

A function is only possible when any given input leads to <u>exactly one</u> output only. It would be like saying "the conversion function from Celsius to Fahrenheit has 0 degrees C convert to both 32 degrees F and 50 degrees F at the same time". But such a statement makes no sense and it's not useful. So this is one example of why having one output makes sense for a function.

In short, we need one output for any given input. But the input x = 2 leads to more than one output. That's why we don't have a function.

Mr Bryce planted a garden in his backyard the length and width of the garden are shown below. what is the area, in square meters
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

A. Area = 5/9 sq.meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = (lenght × widht)

A=(\frac{5}{6} )(\frac{2}{3}) =\frac{(5)(2)}{(6)(3)} =\frac{10}{18}

simplified

A=\frac{5}{9}

Hope this helps

Pls pls pls answer! I will mark brainliest!!!! tysm<br> xy = 72<br> (x + 2)(y - 4) = 128
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

x=2 and y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

you have two equations

1) xy=72 and 2) (x+2)(y-4)=128

solve for one of the variables in equation 2), lets do y

(x+2)(y-4)=128, divide by (x+2) to both sides and add 4 to isolate variable y

therefore, y=(128/(x+2))+4

then plug in y into equation 1)

so x(our new y)=72

x( 128/(x+2) +4 )=72

distribute the x so you will get

(128/(x+2))x +4x=72

we are now solving for x, so isolate the x by subtracting 4x and multiplying by (x+2) to get

128x=(x+2)(72-4x)

multiply by distribution and combine like terms

-4x^2 -64x +144 =0

solve for x by quadratic formula, you'll get x=2 or x=-18

substitute back into equation 1), (2)(y)=72, solve for y to get 36

then you can check by substituting back into equation 2)

(2+2)(36-4)=128

(4)(32)=128, 128=128
