The life expectancy E, in solar lifetimes, of certain stars depends on their mass M, in solar masses. The relationship is
.
Does an increase in mass have a greater effect on life expectancy for a larger star or a smaller star? A graph of E versus M? can help you answer this question.
What will be an ideal response?
The effect is greater for a smaller star.
