The table shows the total payroll (in millions of dollars) of the Chicago Cubs baseball team for the years 2010–2014.

Year ......................................Total Payroll (millions of dollars)

2010 ...........................................................145.4

2011 ...........................................................134.3

2012 ...........................................................111.0

2013 ...........................................................107.4

2014 .............................................................92.7

Letting ƒ(x) represent the total payroll and x represent the number of years since 2010, we find that the function

models the data quite well. According to this function, when will the total payroll halve its 2010 value?
