Use the following information to answer the next two questions
One futuristic scheme to produce power on a large scale proposes placing giant solar
panels into Earth's orbit, where energy generated from sunlight would be converted to
microwaves and beamed to antennas on Earth for reconversion to electric power. To
produce as much power as five large nuclear power plants (5.00×10° W total),
several square kilometres of solar panels would have to be assembled in orbit. An
Earth-based antenna that is 8 km in diameter would be required to receive
microwaves from the solar modules, which would be positioned 7.52×10° m away
from Earth's centre.

a.) Galaxy B moves away from galaxy A at 0.521 times the speed of light. Galaxy C moves away from galaxy B in the same direction at 0.715 times the speed of light. How fast does galaxy C recede from galaxy A? Express your answer as a fraction of the speed of light.
b.) Processes at the center of a nearby galaxy cause the emission of electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 2.71×10^13 Hz. Detectors on Earth measure the frequency of this radiation as 1.69×10^13 Hz. How fast is the galaxy receding from Earth?
