On the basis of data for the years 1914 through 1992, the expected life span of people in a country can be described by the function f(x) = 12.005 In x + 17.675 years, where x is the number of years from 1904 to the person's birth year. What does this model estimate the life span to be for people born in 1991? This model estimates that the life span for people bom in 1991 is ☐ years. (Round to the nearest year as needed.)
