If the initial population is 3800. Then the population of the cockroach after 3 years will be 1603.

<h3>What is exponential growth or decay function?</h3>

Consider the function:

y = a(1 ± r)ⁿ

where n is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or r%.

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or r%.

Colette has an exterminator visit regularly to control an ongoing cockroach problem.

It's been working, and the population has declined by 15% every year.

If the population is currently 3,800 cockroaches.

The expression is given as

y = 3800(0.75)ⁿ

Then the population of the cockroach after 3 years will be

y = 3800(0.75)³

y = 3800 x 0.4218

y = 1603.125

y ≅ 1603

Which statements are always true regarding the diagram? Check all that apply. m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4 + m∠6 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The true statements are:

m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ 1st

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ 2nd

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ 3rd

Step-by-step explanation:

* Look to the attached diagram to answer the question

# m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180°

∵ ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180°

∵ ∠ 2 , ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 are the interior angles of the triangle

∵ The sum of the measures of interior angles of any Δ is 180°

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5

∵ In any Δ, the measure of the exterior angle at one vertex of the

  triangle equals the sum of the measures of the opposite interior

  angles of this vertex

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle of the vertex of ∠ 6

∵ ∠2 and ∠ 4 are the opposite interior angles to ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>true </em>

# m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°

∵ ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠1 + m∠2 = 90° ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

# m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2

∵ ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 , ∠ 2 are the interior angles of a triangle

∵ There is no given about their measures

∴ We can not says that the sum of the measures of ∠ 4 and ∠ 6 is

  equal to the measure of ∠ 2

∴ m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

<em></em>

# m∠2 + m∠6 = m∠5

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle at the vertex of ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 6 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>
