Which scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image? Select each correct answer. −1.8 −0.8 0.8 1.8

Comerpickles:

There is no image for this, I wonder why myself. There also is more than one answer. @Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

take the absolute value of each answer choice (basically, if there is a negative sign remove the negative sign) and choose the two answer choices less than 1

Comerpickles:

Okie

Comerpickles:

So basically its C and D, right?

Vocaloid:

1.8 is not less than 1

Comerpickles:

So then A,B, and C

Comerpickles:

Or just C

Vocaloid:

when you take the absolute value of -1.8 you get 1.8 which is not less than 1.

Comerpickles:

Ohhh, got it

Comerpickles:

Can you help me with 3 more please?

Vocaloid:

sure.

Comerpickles:

This time its Expansion Which scale factors produce a expansion under a dilation of the original image? Select each correct answer. −8 −0.7 0.8 7

Vocaloid:

select the answer choices with an an absolute value greater than 1

Comerpickles:

A and D

Vocaloid:

well done

Comerpickles:

Thanks, okay, this one finally has a image, http://prntscr.com/hpcsmh

Vocaloid:

the new shape is 3 times as big as the old shape making the dilation factor 3

Vocaloid:

*** that is to say the side lengths are 3 times as big, not the area

Comerpickles:

Oh, so how do I determine 3 cubits larger?

Vocaloid:

if you compare AB and A'B' (corresponding sides) AB is 1 unit long and A'B' is 3 units long

Vocaloid:

|dw:1513645896532:dw|

Comerpickles:

So the scale factor is 1, since the new shape is bigger?

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid the new shape is 3 times as big as the old shape making the dilation factor ~~~ 3 ~~~ \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Comerpickles:

Ohhh

Comerpickles:

Last but not least http://prntscr.com/hpcu8r

Vocaloid:

the new triangle gets reflected in the opposite direction so the scale dilation factor must be negative the new triangle is the blue one, which is ~3~ times as big as the old triangle put these together to get -3 = your ans

Comerpickles:

Okie, thanks so much for your help. It really helped
