QuestionA strain of bacteria grows in broth at $30^{\circ}$ C. Find the average rate of change of population $P(t)$ from $t=0$ to $t=4.5$ hours. Round to 3 decimal places.

Studdy Solution
Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the average rate of change. Round to3 decimal places as needed.
$$\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{0.13}{4.5} \approx0.029$$The average rate of change of the population from0 to4.5 hours is approximately0.029 grams per hour.
