(Modeling) Women in Politics The percentage of women in state legislatures between 1993 and 2007 can be modeled by the linear function

f(x) = 0.223x + 20.6,

where x = 0 represents 1993, x = 1 represents 1994, and so on. (Source: National Women's Political Cancus.)

(a) Find a function g(x) that models the percentage, except that x is the actual year between 1993 and 2007.

(b) Use g(x) to predict the percentage of women in state legislatures in 2011.
