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.

Michael spends an average of $120 per month going out to lunch and dinner. If he can cut that
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

If he spends $120 dollars a month, and he cut's that down to $50 a month, we should create a pattern to visualize the months.

Step-by-step explanation:

120- 50= 70 ($70 saved each month)

Month 1- $70 saved total

Month 2- $140 saved total

Month 3- $210 saved total

Month 4- $280 saved total

Month 5- $350 saved total

Month 6- $420 saved total

It takes 6 months to get 400 saved. We could also divide to get

5.714285, but it would takes 6 months before reaching the goal. :)
