Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question to calculate probability from odds. The formula is given as:

A formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1)

From the question , we are told that the odds of receiving a gift is

= 5:12

The probability of Jessica receiving a gift =

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1)

P = 5/12 / ( 5/12 + 1)

P = (5/12)/ (17/12)

P = 5/12 × 12/17

= 5/17

Therefore, the probability of Jessica. receiving a gift is 5/17.

Vanessa throws a tennis ball in the air. The function h(t) = -15t2 + 45t + 10 represents the distance in feet, that the ball is
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

43.75feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the tennis ball expressed as;

h(t) = -15t^2 + 45t + 10

At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero

v = dh/dt

dh/dt = -30t + 45

Since dh/dt = 0, hence;

0 = -30t + 45

30t = 45

t = 45/30

t = 3/2

t = 1.5secs

Substitute t = 1.5 into the expression given

h(1.5) = -15(1.5)^2 + 45(1.5) + 10

h(1.5) = -15(2.25)+67.5+10

h(1.5) = -33.75+77.5

h(1.5) = 43.75feet

Hence the maximum height of the ball is 43.75feet
