light-year

the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, equal to about 9.46 trillion km (5.88 trillion mi). light-years are used in measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances.

parsec

a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.25 light years (3.08 × 1016 meters).

parallax

the apparent angular displacement of a celestial body due to its being observed from the surface instead of from the center of the earth (diurnal parallax or geocentric parallax) or due to its being observed from the earth instead of from the sun (annual parallax or heliocentric parallax)

absolute magnitude

the magnitude (brightness) of a celestial object as it would be seen at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.

apparent magnitude

the magnitude of a celestial object as it is actually measured from the earth.

redshift

an increase in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the doppler effect.

the great thing about your imagination is that it doesn't have to make sense! if i were you i would be stuck in space, no communication with earth travelling around and around, you can only guess how long its been since your communication broke down. you land on an undiscovered planet, you do a scientific investigation examining the elements and conditions. you come across alien lifeforms.

best of luck!

You need to figure out at which x-value does the graph has a tangent line slope of -1.remember, the derivative is the slope of the tangent line. so find the derivative function and set it to equal -1 to find the x-value that will have a tangent line slope of 0.differentiate with the chain rule. $\begin{aligned} f(x) & = (0.5)^{2x} \\ f'(x) & = 0.5^{2x} \cdot \ln(0.5) \cdot (2x)' \\ f'(x) & = 0.5^{2x} \cdot \ln(0.5) \cdot 2 \\ f'(x) & = 2\ln(0.5) \cdot 0.5^{2x} \end{aligned}$ set the derivative to equal -1 and solve for x. $\begin{aligned} -1 & = 2\ln(0.5) \cdot 0.5^{2x} \\ -\frac{1}{2} & = \ln(0.5) \cdot 0.5^{2x} \\ -\frac{1}{2\ln(0.5)} & = 0.5^{2x} \end{aligned}$ take log base 10 of both sides. also recall that $\log_c(m^n) = n \log_c m$ . $\begin{aligned} \log\left[ -\frac{1}{2\ln(0.5)}\right] & = \log\left[0.5^{2x}\right] \\ \log\left[ -\frac{1}{2\ln(0.5)}\right] & = 2x \log(0.5) \\ \dfrac{\log\left[ -\frac{1}{2\ln(0.5)}\right]}{2\log(0.5)} & = x \\ x & \approx 0.2356 \end{aligned}$ so the x-coord of the point of tangency is $x \approx 0.2356$ .the y-coordinate of this point of tangency can be calculated using the original function: $\begin{aligned} f(x) & = (0.5)^{2x} \\ f(0.2356) & = (0.5)^{2 \cdot 0.2356} \\ & \approx 0.7213 \end{aligned}$ using point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is $y - 0.7213 = -1(x-0.2356)$ the x-intercept of this tangent line is when the graph is at y=0. $\begin{aligned} 0 - 0.7213 & = -1(x-0.2356)\\ - 0.7213 & = -(x-0.2356) \\ 0.7213 & = x-0.2356\\ x & = 0.9569 \end{aligned}$ this rounds off to $x & = 0.957$ .choice c.
