To determine which situation could describe the graph, we need to identify which scenario illustrates exponential growth. The scenarios involving an investment or value that triples or appreciates over time would typically reflect exponential growth.
- Juveldy's investment that triples every year: Exponential growth due to tripling.
- Jewelry's investment that triples every year: Similar situation to Juveldy.
- Sienna's vintage record appreciating by 20% each year: This is also exponential growth but at a slower rate than tripling.
- Niall renting a bike for $20 per hour: This is linear growth, as the cost increases by a fixed amount per hour.
- Cockroaches populating and tripling every day: This is exponential growth due to tripling.
Based on the descriptions, both Juveldy's and Jewelry's investments as well as the cockroach population illustrate exponential growth, but since they involve different scaling (one being annual and the other daily), if the graph indeed shows something tripling, then likely the best fitting situation could either be Juveldy's or the cockroaches.
If the graph is characterized by rapid growth, then the situation about 200 cockroaches tripling in population every day is likely the best fit because it would show a much steeper increase compared to an investment that triples year over year.
Therefore, if the graph reflects rapid and drastic increases, the situation that describes the graph is: "There are 200 cockroaches in a building, and the population triples every day."
