A Cepheid 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?
