The number of domestic feral rabbits in Nose Hill park can be modelled by the logarithmic function y = 400 - 41 • log x where y represents the number of domestic feral rabbits and x represents the time, in years, after 2000. Determine the domestic feral rabbit population in Nose Hill in 2014. In what year will there be 345 domestic rabbits?
