QuestionThe number of bacteria $N$, in a culture is modeled by the exponential growth model, $N(t)=300 e^{0.025 t}$, where $t$ represents time in hours. The growth rate of the population of this bacterium is represented by $2.5 \%$ per hour. True False

Studdy Solution
Compare the calculated growth rate to the given percentage.
The calculated growth rate is $2.5\%$, which matches the given growth rate of $2.5\%$.
The statement that the growth rate of the population of this bacterium is represented by $2.5\%$ per hour is:
$$\boxed{\text{True}}$$
