Students in an English class took a final exam. They took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. The average score S(t), in percent, after t months was found to be given by S(t) = 68 -20 log (t + 1), t ≥ 0.

\n" ); document.write( "This is all I got so far... I do not know where to start or finish please help! thank you.
\n" ); document.write( "50 = 68 - 20 log (t + 1), t ≥ 0.
