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.
What kinda of math is this so i can answer..

Answer:
Statements 3, 4 and 5 are true.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x + 4
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [ -(-8) +/- √((-8)^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= (8 +/- √(64 - 16)) / 2
= 4 +/- √48 / 2
= 4 +/- 4√3/2
= 4 +/- 2√3.
So the third statement is true.
Converting to vertex form:
x^2 - 8x + 4
= (x - 4)^2 - 16 + 4
= (x - 4)^2 -12
So the extreme value is at (4, -12)
So the fourth statement is true.
The coefficient of the term in x^2 is 1 (positive) so the graph has a minimum.
