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)

Question

Responses

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

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 graph will begin with the point (1,5)
because Lori starts with five fish.

Answer 1

The correct statement that discusses a key feature of the graph of Lori's goldfish reproduction situation is:

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

This is because the population of goldfish will increase by 32% each month, which means the number of fish after each month can be calculated by multiplying the previous month's total by 1.32 (100% + 32% = 132%, or 1.32 as a multiplier). This indicates exponential growth, and thus the points on the graph will follow a common ratio derived from this growth factor.
