The percent of U.S. children growing up without a father has increased rapidly since 1950. If x represents the number of years since 1900 the function is defined by:
F(x)=25/(1+1364.3 e^(-x/9.316) )
What percent of U.S. children lived in a home without a father in 1997
-----------------
F(97) = 25/(1+1364.3 e^(-97/9.316))
------
= 25/1.041
------
= 24.02%
