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
There is no image for this, I wonder why myself. There also is more than one answer. @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
Okie
So basically its C and D, right?
1.8 is not less than 1
So then A,B, and C
Or just C
when you take the absolute value of -1.8 you get 1.8 which is not less than 1.
Ohhh, got it
Can you help me with 3 more please?
sure.
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
select the answer choices with an an absolute value greater than 1
A and D
well done
the new shape is 3 times as big as the old shape making the dilation factor 3
*** that is to say the side lengths are 3 times as big, not the area
Oh, so how do I determine 3 cubits larger?
if you compare AB and A'B' (corresponding sides) AB is 1 unit long and A'B' is 3 units long
|dw:1513645887722:dw|
|dw:1513645896532:dw|
So the scale factor is 1, since the new shape is bigger?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid the new shape is 3 times as big as the old shape making the dilation factor ~~~ 3 ~~~ \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
Ohhh
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
Okie, thanks so much for your help. It really helped
