he timber harvests in a particular forest have decayed approximately exponentially from 422 million board feet in 1995 33 million board feet in 2012. Let f(t) be the number of board feet, in millions, of the timber harvests t years since 995. Predict when the timber harvest will be 14 million board feet. The timber harvest will be 14 million board feet in the year
