You asked a question. I'm about to answer it.
Sadly, I can almost guarantee that you won't understand the solution.
This realization grieves me, but there is little I can do to change it.
My explanation will be the best of which I'm capable.
Here are the Physics facts I'll use in the solution:
-- "Apparent magnitude" means how bright the star appears to us.
-- "Absolute magnitude" means the how bright the star WOULD appear
if it were located 32.6 light years from us (10 parsecs).
-- A change of 5 magnitudes means a 100 times change in brightness,
so each magnitude means brightness is multiplied or divided by ⁵√100 .
That's about 2.512... .
-- Increasing magnitude means dimmer.
Decreasing magnitude means brighter.
+5 is 10 magnitudes dimmer than -5 .
-- Apparent brightness is inversely proportional to the square
of the distance from the source (just like gravity, sound, and
the force between charges).
That's all the Physics. The rest of the solution is just arithmetic.
____________________________________________________
-- The star in the question would appear M(-5) at a distance of
32.6 light years.
-- It actually appears as a M(+5). That's 10 magnitudes dimmer than M(-5),
because of being farther away than 32.6 light years.
-- 10 magnitudes dimmer is ( ⁵√100)⁻¹⁰ = (100)^(-2) .
-- But brightness varies as the inverse square of distance,
so that exponent is (negative double) the ratio of the distances,
and the actual distance to the star is
(32.6) · (100)^(1) light years
= (32.6) · (100) light years
= approx. 3,260 light years . (roughly 1,000 parsecs)
I'll have to confess that I haven't done one of these calculations
in over 50 years, and I'm not really that confident in my result.
If somebody's health or safety depended on it, or the success of
a space mission, then I'd be strongly recommending that you get
a second opinion.
But, quite frankly, I do feel that mine is worth the 5 points.
Answer:
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of theparticles determines the state of matter of thesubstance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

To convert parametric to Cartesian systems, you need to find a way to get rid of the t's.
In this case, the t's are inside trigonometric functions, so we're going to use a very famous trig identity you should memorize:
If we plug sin(t) and cos(t) into that equation only x and y variables will be left!
BUT there's one thing. The given cos(t + pi/6) has nasty extra stuff in it. However, part a gives you a tip on how to relate x and y to a nice clean cos(t)
So if we do a little rearranging:
Now we can plug these into the famous trig identity!
Do a little bit of adjustments to get that final form asked for, and you'll be able to find those integers of a and b. ;)

Turn off the Parallel line and turn on the Line through focal point. ... A real image is formed where the light rays emitted from a point converge on the other side of the lens.
