Question

Lori buys five goldfish for her tank. Her research shows that they will reproduce at a rate of 32 percent each month. Which statement discusses a key feature of the graph of this situation?(1 point)
The graph will begin with the point (1,5)because Lori starts with five fish.

The graph will have a constant rate of change.
The graph will have a constant rate of change.

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 32.
The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 32.

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 1.32.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The statement that best discusses a key feature of the graph of this situation is:

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 1.32.

This is because with a reproduction rate of 32 percent, the number of fish each month will be multiplied by 1.32 (which represents the original fish plus the 32% increase). This indicates an exponential growth rather than a linear growth, so the graph will show points with a common ratio reflecting that reproduction rate.
