A Cepheid star is a type of variable star, which means its brightness is not constant. The relationship between the brightness o

f a Cepheid star and its period, or length of its pulse, is given by M = –2.78(log P) – 1.35, where M is the absolute magnitude, or brightness, of the star, and P is the number of days required for the star to complete one cycle. What is the absolute magnitude of a star that has a period of 45 days? Use a calculator. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. –5.95 –4.60 3.25 4.60

Answer:

The absolute brightness of the Cepheid star after a period of 45 days is -5.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the absolute magnitude or brightness of a Cepheid star is related to its period or length of its pulse by

M = –2.78(log P) – 1.35 where M = absolute magnitude and P = period or length of pulse.

From our question, it is given that P = 45 days.

So, M = –2.78(log P) – 1.35

M = –2.78(log 45) – 1.35

M = –2.78(1.6532) – 1.35

M = -4.60 - 1.35

M = -5.95

So, the absolute magnitude or brightness M of a Cepheid star after a period P of 45 days is -5.95

Randy is designing a circular garden that is 18 feet in diameter. He is buying plastic edging that costs $1.50 per foot. He can
Dmitrij [34]
First we need to figure out the circumference of the gardening area. The circumference fell is the length around the circle. We can use the circumference formula:

2*pi*r or pi*d

Where r = radius and d=diameter

If you plug in the diameter of 18 ft you get:
18 * pi
= 56.55 ft

Since he can only buy whole foot amounts, we will round up to 57 ft, not down, because he can have a little extra, but can't be under the amount he needs.

Now if it cost $1.50 for every foot, we just multiply that by our footing

1.5 * 57 = $85.50

Stephen evaluated (6.34 x 10^-7)(4.5 x 10^3). His work is shown below. Which statements describe his errors? Check all that appl
Lostsunrise [7]
We have the following expression:
 (6.34 x 10 ^ -7) (4.5 x 10 ^ 3)
 The solution shown is:
 (6.34 x 10 ^ -7) (4.5 x 10 ^ 3)
 (6.34 x 4.5) (10 ^ -7 x 10 ^ 3)
 28.53 x 10 ^ -4
 -28.53 x 10 ^ 4
 -2.853 x 10 ^ 3
 The errors are:
 A. He changed the sign of the coefficient. A negative exponent does not affect the sign of a coefficient in scientific notation. The sign of the exponent determines the direction the decimal is moved in.
 D. He got the wrong value for the coefficients; 28.53 x 10^-4 is not possible. The coefficients in scientific notation are always greater than 1, but less than 10.

The length and width of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers. The perimeter is 120 meters. Find the length and width
poizon [28]

Step-by-step explanation: Since the width and length are consecutive odd integers, call the width <em>x</em> and the length <em>x + 2</em>.

Now, it would be helpful to draw a picture of your rectangle

and label its parts to help you set up the equation.

Since the perimeter of the rectangle is 120 meters,

<em>x + x + (x + 2) + (x + 2) = 120</em>.

Simplifying from here we get 4x + 4 = 120.

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get 4x = 116.

Now divide both sides by 4 to get x = 29.

So the width of our rectangle is 29 meters

and the length, <em>x + 2</em>, is 31 meters,
