course reader pg 61 naming example
At the bottom of pg 61 the third structure is named 4-Methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone. I don't understand why it isn't 4-Methylcyclohex-2,5-dienone, that is why should we write hexa- instead of hex-.

Ketones take their name from their parent alkane chains. The ending -e is removed and replaced with -one
