Question:

The percent of the U.S. population that was foreign-born during the years 1930 through 2016 can be modeled by the polynomial function P(x) = 0.0039x2 - 0.3001x + 11.33, where x = 0 represents 1930, x = 10 represents 1940, and so on, and P(x) is percent. Use this function to approximate the percent of the U.S. population that was foreign-born (to the nearest hundredth as needed) in each given year.
