E. coli Growth A strain of E. coli Beu 397-recA441 is placed into a nutrient broth at 30° Celsius and allowed to grow. The data shown in the table are collected. The population is measured in grams and the time in hours. Since population P depends on time t, and each input corresponds to exactly one output, we can say that population is a function of time. Thus P1t2 represents the population at time t.

(a) Find the average rate of change of the population from 0 to 2.5 hours.


(b) Find the average rate of change of the population from 4.5 to 6 hours.


(c) What is happening to the average rate of change as time passes?
