A Cepheid variable star is a star whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. For a certain star, the interval between times of maximum brightness is 5.4 days. The average brightness of this star is 5.0 and its brightness changes by 10.35. In view of these data, the brightness of the star at time t, where t is measured in days, has been modeled by the function B(t) = 5.0 + 0.35 sin 2ntt 5.4 (a) Find the rate of change of the brightness after t days. dB 0.71 5.4 COS 2nt dt 5.4 (b) Find, correct to two decimal places, the rate of increase after five days. dB dt X Enter a number.
