The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that the United States is becoming more diverse. In Exercise $49$ of the previous section, the projected Hispanic population (in millions) was modeled by the exponential function

$$h(t)=37.79(1.021)^{t}$$

where $t=0$ corresponds to 2000 and $0 \leq t \leq 50$. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. a. Estimate in what year the Hispanic population will double the $2005$ population of $42.69$ 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

$$h(t)=11.14(1.023)^{t}$$

where $t=0$ corresponds to 2000 and $0 \leq t \leq 50$.Estimate in what year the Asian population will double the $2005$ population of $12.69$ million.
