A period-luminosity relationship unique to Cepheid variables, the star's apparent magnitude, and its distance from Earth are all necessary pieces of information that you would need to obtain in order to calculate the luminosity of a Cepheid variable star in solar units.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
