OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok what is the difference between the centers?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

Would it be 113? @ adamaero

OpenStudy (adamaero):

How did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

-3-4^2 + 1-9^2

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

I remember seeing that formula you showed me.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

You need two equations (for each circle).

OpenStudy (adamaero):

There may be a more straightforward way, but I haven't thought of it.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

Can you give me an idea of what I need to do?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

I'll foil it out, but I'm not sure that I'm guiding you down the right path anyway...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took the test, how I did it was by translation. Remember, these are word problems and math problems. What is the translation difference between the two?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

do you have the answers? or was that way back

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

is there a formula for translation difference?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

@ybarrap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was my semester exam too, I had to get an extension. No just plain translation, graph it. How far would it be across the board? In units, aka "I translated A up 4 units and across by 2"

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

Yeah I had to get an extension as well and I have 20 minutes to finish these questions.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

less than

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

so I have to figure out how many units across the y and x it translated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok mine was translated to the left and upwards. Explain the difference. Then what is the difference in dilation? Explain that difference.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

what is dilation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Expansion of an object. Primarily circles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what the explanation needs to be is something along the lines of "I proved they were similar by translating _________ and I dilated it ______" Make sense?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

not really I get what you mean by dilation but doesnt similar mean the same angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, its just larger. A radius of 4 can be dilated to 1/4 aka 1. So what you need to do is find the difference in location of the center point.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

from circle c to circle e right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the difference in units of (-3, 1) and (4, 9)? Go X axis first, then Y axis. Then what is the dilation difference? And yes, either way it works.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

7 and 8 right?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

or is it -7 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, explain it by saying something like "I translated it to the right by 7 on the x-coordinate, moving it from -3 to 4" For example of what you did.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

and upwards 8 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Its to the right by 7 then upwards by 8 I think. Word it out. Then the dilation is 4, what is 3/4 of four?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

3?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. That is your answer. Word it out.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

3 or .75

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

@RhythmicTune

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Something like "I proved they were similar by moving Circle C to the right by 7, moving -3 to 4. I then moved it upwards by 8...(fill in similar to first half here).. The dilation difference is 3/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 3 not .75

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said it by saying one can be translated to the other then dilated.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

thanks so much dude
