To determine which situation could describe the graph, we need to analyze the nature of the growth represented in the graph.
-
Juveldy invests $20, tripling each year suggests exponential growth that is quite rapid.
-
Sienna's vintage record appreciates by 20 percent annually implies a more gradual exponential growth but at a slower rate than tripling.
-
Niall rents a bike for $20 per hour describes linear growth where the amount remains constant over time (not exponential).
-
Cockroaches triple every day suggests a very rapid exponential growth similar to Juveldy’s investment but likely even faster because it is daily rather than annually.
Based on this analysis, if the graph shows a rapid, exponential growth pattern, the most likely candidates are either Juveldy's investment or the cockroach population. Without seeing the graph, if it depicts a very steep, rapid growth, it could indicate the cockroach population since tripling daily would result in an explosive increase.
Given these descriptions, if the graph shows a steep growth pattern, then the correct response would be:
There are 200 cockroaches in a building, and the population triples every day.
If the growth is less steep and occurs over years, then we would choose:
Juveldy puts $20 in a high-yield savings account. His investment triples every year.
Please choose the situation based on the graph’s characteristics you have.
