Question 133524This question is from textbook algebra: structure and method: book1
: The heat radiated from a star is directly proportional to the fourth power of the surface temperature of the star. If the surface temp. of one star is 3/2 times as great as the surface temp. of a second star of the same size, what is the ratio of the amounts of heat radiated by the stars? PLEASE HELP!!!!!! HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!! This question is from textbook algebra: structure and method: book1

"The heat radiated from a star is directly proportional to the fourth power of the surface temperature"

if the surface temp ratio is 3:2, then the heat ratio will be 3^4:2^4
