The population of a certain bacteria is growing exponentially according to the function $\displaystyle {P}={100}{\left({1.025}\right)}^{{t}}$ where $\displaystyle {t}$ is the number of hours after 2 pm. Find the average rat of change of the population from 3 pm to 8 pm. Round to the nearest hundredth.

$\displaystyle {2.83}\ \frac{{{b}{a}{c}{t}{e}{r}{i}{a}}}{{{h}{o}{u}{r}}}$
$\displaystyle -{2.69}\ \frac{{{b}{a}{c}{t}{e}{r}{i}{a}}}{{{h}{o}{u}{r}}}$

$\displaystyle {2.69}\ \frac{{{b}{a}{c}{t}{e}{r}{i}{a}}}{{{h}{o}{u}{r}}}$
$\displaystyle {13.47}\ \frac{{{b}{a}{c}{t}{e}{r}{i}{a}}}{{{h}{o}{u}{r}}}$

$\displaystyle {0.37}\ \frac{{{b}{a}{c}{t}{e}{r}{i}{a}}}{{{h}{o}{u}{r}}}$
