?A substantial percentage of the United States population is foreign-born. The bar graph

Chapter 1, Problem 39

(choose chapter or problem)

A substantial percentage of the United States population is foreign-born. The bar graph shows the percentage of foreign-born Americans for selected years from \(1920\) through \(2008\).

The percentage, \(p\), of the United States population that was foreign-born \(x\) years after \(1920\) can be modeled by the formula

\(p=0.004 x^{2}-0.37 x+14.1\).

According to this model, in which year will \(25 \%\) of the United States population be foreign-born? Round to the nearest year.
