Answer:

h(8)=-67

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x=8 so we solve the solution on the right by replacing x with 8

5-9*8

5-72

-67

So h(8)=-67

Answer:

120 home runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of home runs after playing 1272 games.

We have been given that Derek Jeter, the short stop for the New York Yankees, a major league baseball team, played in 159 games in 2012 and hit 15 home runs.

Let us find the probability of hitting home runs in next game.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ Total number of possible outcomes}}$

$\text{Probability of hitting home run in next game}=\frac{15}{159}$

To find the total number of home runs Derek will hit in his career, we will use relative probability, which is the ratio of the occurrence of a singular event and the total number of outcomes.

So we can set a proportion as:

$\frac{x}{1272}=\frac{15}{159}$
