Beatrice is interested in raising chickens.  She finds data on chickens that lists the following about the population growth:Year 1: 4 chickensYear 2: 12 chickensYear 3: 36 chickensYear 4: 108 chickensShe notices the chicken population triples every year.  Which type of trendline would be the best choice to model the relationship between the years that go by and the numbers of chickens in the population for these 4 years?Group of answer choicesA quadratic trendline.A linear trendline.An exponential trendline.There is no relationship between the years and the chicken population.All of these trendlines would predict the exact same value of the chicken population.
