Question

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, in feet, over the horizontal distance traveled, in feet, x, is given below.

What do the zeros of the expression represent?

A. the maximum height of the shot
B. the time it takes for the shot to reach the ground
C. the horizontal distance covered by the shot
D. the initial height from which the shot was thrown Reset

Answer 1

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The quadratic expression is -2 x ^2 + 3 x + 5.

I used an algebraic problem solver to get an explanation of what the zeros are in a quadratic equation.

The zeros represent the maximum height of the shot.

Hope this helps <3
