Step 1 :We are given the function \(B(h)=1425 e^{0.15 h}\) and we want to find the time \(h\) it takes for the bacteria population to reach 3600. This means we need to solve the equation \(1425 e^{0.15 h} = 3600\) for \(h\).
Step 2 :First, we divide both sides of the equation by 1425 to isolate the exponential term: \(e^{0.15 h} = \frac{3600}{1425}\).
Step 3 :Next, we take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for \(h\): \(0.15 h = \ln\left(\frac{3600}{1425}\right)\).
Step 4 :Finally, we divide both sides by 0.15 to solve for \(h\): \(h = \frac{\ln\left(\frac{3600}{1425}\right)}{0.15}\).
Step 5 :By calculating the above expression, we find that \(h \approx 6.2\).
Step 6 :So, it will take approximately \(\boxed{6.2}\) hours for the bacteria population to reach 3600.
