Question

Define enlargement.

An enlargement is a type of dilation where the value of the scale factor is less than 0.

An enlargement is a type of dilation where the absolute value of the scale factor is between 0 and 1

An enlargement is a type of dilation where the value of the scale factor is greater than 0.

An enlargement is a type of dilation where the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1.

Answer 1

@will.H @sapphireMoon @otherworldly

Answer 2

c i think

Answer 3

Thanks.

Answer 4

The scale factor is greater than 1. If the scale factor is less than 1 it's a shrink, not an enlargement.

Answer 5

c fpr sure

Answer 6

Nope, D.

Answer 7

Yeah, Luna's correct :)

Answer 8

but it can't be anything else because it isn't absolute value so cancel those out the ones that r left r A and C

Answer 9

Hmmmmmm....@Kevin!

Answer 10

@Kevin help us.

Answer 11

and C says greater than zero so....

Answer 12

True, but that means none of them are true...

Answer 13

But it's not an enlargement just b/c it's greater than 0... 1/4 is greater than 0 but it's a shrink.

Answer 14

I'm just saying u said my answer was not greater than zero

Answer 15

the only one that makes sense tho is C

Answer 16

According to Google, a negative dilation rotates the figure, but if the absolute value is greater than 1 it grows, otherwise it shrinks.

How does a negative scale factor affect a dilation?
If the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, then the image will be larger than the pre-image. Additionally, a negative scale factor causes the dilation to rotate 180 degrees. Dilations can occur both on a coordinate plane and not on a coordinate plane. Let's take a look at each.

Answer 17

I think @SapphireMoon, is right.

Answer 18

yeah i think @SapphireMoon is starting to make sense XD

Answer 19

SapphireMoon's first answer is correct

Answer 20

yeah, okay.
