Question 551875: Help! I am solving this and coming up with 25 which is wrong because I need to find the year.
The formula F = 0.03x2 + 22 models the percentage of female tenured
faculty, F, at State University x years after 1980. According to the formula,
in what year will the percentage of female tenured faculty reach 40.75?
