f = 2.51^{-m + c}  \label{eq:fluxcalib}  \end{equation}  where $c$ is a constant which we're going to determine.{\color{red}In practice, this equation is usually rearranged to give:  \begin{equation}  m = -2.5\log_{10}(f) + c.  \end{equation}  Derive this form.}  For two sources, the difference in their magnitudes isthen  proportional to the ratio of their fluxes:  \begin{equation}  \Delta m = m_1 - m_2 = 2.5 \log_{10} \left(\frac{f_2}{f_1}\right) (f_2/f_1)  \label{eq:appmagfluxratio}  \end{equation}
