Acepheid star is a type of variable star, which means its brightness is not constant. the relationship between the brightness of 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.
