To measure the brightness of a star from earth, the brightness of the star Vega is used as a reference, and is assigned a relative intensity I(0) = 1. The magnitude m of any given star is defined by m = 2.5 log (I), where I is the relative intensity of that star.^7

(a) What is the magnitude of Vega?
(b) Suppose that light arriving from another star has a relative intensity of 5.32. What is the magnitude of this star?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
