A Cepheid variabl star is a star whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. suppose that Cephei Joe is a star for which the interval times of maximum brightness is 5.5 days. its average brightness is 4.8 and the brightness changes by +/-0.065. Using this data, we can construct a mathmatical model for the brightness of Cephei Joe at time t, where t is measured in days:
B(t)= 4.8+0.65sin(2pit/5.5)
(a) find the rate of change of the brightness after t days.
rate of change = ?
(b) find the rate of increase after one day.
rate of increase = ?
please provide steps so I can see how this is worked out. Thank you.
