Question

Predict the Earth Mass (ME) of an exoplanet with an Earth Radius measure of 3.2 RE.

Answer 1

The relationship is modeled by the equation y = 7.7079x - 7.

Here, y is the dependent variable which is the Earth Mass, and x is the independent variable which is the Earth Radius.

Solving for the Earth Mass if Earth Radius is 3.2 (x=3.2), we substitute 3.2 to x.

7.7079(3.2)-7

=7.7079 times 3.2 -7

=24.66528-7

=17.66528

7.7079(3.2)-7=17.66528
