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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
0.03x^2 + 22 = 40.75
x=25
1980 + 25 = 2005
