1) Given a cone 10 feet tall with a diameter of 10 feet, determine the radius of the smaller cone created when a horizontal plane passes through the cone at exactly 4 feet from the base.

The radius of the base of the small cone is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires the determination of the radius of the smaller cone

Therefore, height of the larger cone = 10 feet

Base diameter of the larger cone = 10 feet

Height of horizontal plane of small plane above base of larger cone = 4 feet

Hence the height of the small cone = 6 feet

Therefore, by similar triangles, and tangents we have;

Where:

x = The diameter of the base of the small cone

Therefore;

The radius of the base of the small cone = half the diameter of the base of the small cone

∴ The radius of the base of the small cone = (6 feet)/2 = 3 feet.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
