23. Mrs. Adams gave her students a quiz on logarithms. Every week for three months they took
another quiz to see how much they remembered. The average scores of the students can be
modeled by the human memory model = 87 12 log( + 1) for 0 12 where t is the
time in weeks.

A. Find the average score on the original quiz.

B. What was the average score after 1 month (4 weeks)?

C. Find the average score at the end of the 12 weeks.

24. The Richter scale model for measuring magnitude R of an earthquake is modeled by the equation
= log + , where a is the amplitude in micrometers, T is the period in seconds, and B
represents the dampening effect (weakening) of the wave due to the distance from the epicenter of
the quake.

A. Find the magnitude R of a quake where = 325, = 4 and = 3.25

B. Find the magnitude R of a quake where = 230, = 2 and = 4.5
