<h3>Answer: 2 < x < 7</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

We'll use the hinge theorem here. This says (more or less) that the larger an angle is, the side opposite of that will be longer.

Imagine that the segments with the single tickmarks represent a door swinging open/shut. The more open a door is, the further the distance it is from the handle to the frame. In terms of these triangles, the segment 25 is larger than 5x-10 because the angle 90 (opposite the 25) is larger than the angle 85 degrees (opposite the 5x-10)

In symbols we say

5x - 10 < 25

We also say 5x - 10 > 0 or 0 < 5x - 10 to ensure that the segment of length 5x-10 is not 0 or negative.

Put the two inequalities together and we get 0 < 5x - 10 < 25

------------

Solve for x

0 < 5x - 10 < 25

0+10 < 5x - 10 < 25 + 10 .... adding 10 to all sides

10 < 5x < 35

10/5 < 5x/5 < 35/5 ... dividing all sides by 5

2 < x < 7

We have x between 2 and 7, and not equal to either endpoint.

Answer: 7 pigeons sitting on the branches,  5 pigeons under the tree

=12 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Upper branch has x pigeons, lower has y.

Top branch said: "If one of you flies up to us our number will be double yours":

Well, if one of the bottom branch flies up, the top branch will have x+1 birds and the bottom will have (y−1). The top will have double the bottom, so:

x+1=2(y−1)

Top branch said: "If one of us flies down to you, our numbers will be equal":

Now, the top branch will have x−1 and the bottom y+1. The numbers should be equal:

x−1=y+1

inessss [21]

Answer:

\mathbf{ 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M denote the event that the stock makes money and D denote the event that the stock pays dividends.

It is given that P(M) = 0.6

Observe that the two events M and D are not independent because if the stock doesn't make money then it will not pay dividends. Therefore the event D | M^{c} (D given M does not occur) is a null event, i.e

P(D|M^{c}) = 0

It is also given that,

P(D|M) = 0.5

Recall that : P(D|M) = \frac{P(D \cap M)}{P(M)}

Here, we are required to find P(D \cap M)

P(D \cap M) =P(D|M) \times P(M)= 0.5 \times 0.6 = 0.3
