Question 270731: This life expectancy problem is really messing up when I try to solve it....
L(x)=79.25/(1+9.7135 * 10^24 * e^-.0304t)
* = multiply
^ = to the power of (ex: 5^7 Five to the seventh power)
Solve this equation when t=1970, and when t=1992.
I keep getting a weird decimal for t=1970, and somewhere around four thousand for t=1992. Can I have some help? Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L(x)=79.25/(1+9.7135 * 10^24 * e^-.0304t)
----------------
L(1970) = 86.7896
L(1992) = 83.1126
