Scale factor is defined as a number which multiplies or scales some quantity.
The shape of the figure remains same, the image becomes larger or smaller.
If the scale factor is greater than one, then the image is enlarged.
If the scale factor is less than 1 but greater that 0, then the image becomes smaller.
In the above image, AD = 2 units.
It's corresponding side PS = 3 units
Similarly AB = 1 unit and PQ = 1.5 units
Hence , 1 * 1.5 = 1.5
2*1.5 = 3
Hence, the scale factor of the given image is 1.5 ... Answer

3x^4 becomes 3(3x)^4=3*3^4*x^4
y^2 becomes (3y)^2=3^2y²
the new z=3² the old z, so b is correct.
Let
x---------> the larger number
y---------> the smaller number
we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5
the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5
