Question: The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that the United States is becoming more diverse. In Exercise 55 of the previous section, the projected Hispanic population

The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that the United States is becoming more diverse. In Exercise 55 of the previous section, the projected Hispanic population (in millions) was modeled by the exponential function.

h(t) = 46.82 1(.0151)where t = 0 corresponds to 2000 and 16 ≤ t ≤ 60.

(a) Estimate in what year the Hispanic population will double the 2016 population of 57.47 million. Use the algebra of logarithms to solve this problem.
(b) The projected U.S. Asian population (in millions) was modeled by the exponential function a(t) = 14.83 19.0159)t, where t = 0 corresponds to 2000 and 16 ≤  t ≤ 60. Estimate in what year the Asian population will double the 2016 population of 18.32 million.
