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 4.2 days. The average brightness of this star is 3.0 and its brightness changes by ±0.25. 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) = 3.0 + 0.25 sin 2πt 4.2 . (a) Find the rate of change of the brightness after t days. dB dt =
