Answer:

The zero of the equation represents the maximum height attained by the shot put.

Step-by-step explanation:

William is competing in the shot put event at a track meet. The quadratic expression that models the vertical height of the shot from the ground is

H = -2x^{2}+3x+5

We can find the zeroes of these two equations.

For that put H = 0.

-2x^{2}+3x+5 = 0

(-2x + 5)(x + 1) = 0

x= -1 or x = 2.5

x= -1 is neglected as it is not practical.

x = 2.5 is the maximum height attained by the shot put.

The zero of the equation represents the maximum height attained by the shot put.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

They provide various boxes or various objects.  It also wants objects to be distributed into containers, so no container is empty.  All we select k objects of r to keep no boxes empty, which (r C k) could be done.  All such k artifacts can be placed in k containers, each of them in k! Forms. There will be remaining (r-k) objects. All can be put in any of k boxes.  Therefore, these (r-k) objects could in the k^{(r-k)} manner are organized.  Consequently, both possible ways to do this are

=\binom{r}{k} \times k! \times k^{r-k}\\\\=\frac{r! \times k^{r-k}}{(r-k)!}

Consequently, the number of ways that r objects in k different boxes can be arranged to make no book empty is every possible one

= \frac{r!k^{r-k}}{(r-k)!}
