A scientist is studying the growth of a bacterial culture. The population of the bacteria P ( t ) P\left(t\right) (in thousands) at time t t (in hours) is given in the following table: " width="315"> Use the forward difference quotient with h = 0.2 h=0.2 to estimate the growth rate of the bacterial population at t = 0.6 t=0.6 hour.

6.85 thousand per hour 6.85\text{ thousand per hour}

4.55 thousand per hour 4.55\text{ thousand per hour}

7.75 thousand per hour 7.75\text{ thousand per hour}

6.00 thousand per hour 6.00\text{ thousand per hour}
