Question 357179: the algebraic expression 893.5/(x+14.2) models the success reate for plaintiffs in personal injury suits x years after 1989. The model measures success rate as a percent and is valid only for 1989 through 1992.
A.Find the percentage of cases that resulted in success for the plaintiff in personal injury cases from 1989 through 1992.
B.What happened to the plaintiff's rate of success over this period?
C.If this model is extended into the future, what is a reasonable estimate for the success rate in the year 2000?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! the algebraic expression 893.5/(x+14.2) models the success reate for plaintiffs in personal injury suits x years after 1989. The model measures success rate as a percent and is valid only for 1989 through 1992.
A.Find the percentage of cases that resulted in success for the plaintiff in personal injury cases from 1989 through 1992.
----
1989 percent: 893.5/14.2 = 62.9%
---
1992 percept: 893.5/(3+14.2) = 51.9%
---------------------------------------------
B.What happened to the plaintiff's rate of success over this period?
It decreased
---------------------------
C.If this model is extended into the future, what is a reasonable estimate for the success rate in the year 2000?
--
893.5/(11+14.2) = 35.46%
