I would say smaller than because you would be dilating the image by a number less than 1, which is making the image smaller.
I am not sure if I am right, but this is the best I can answer.
Useing reason, and logic, my guess would be if you take 125, and divided it by 4, you would get 31.25. that should be the answer... if i am wrong, i am truely sorry. I havent been in the subject in a while...
Hope this helps.
Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = 8x² - 3 (Restriction: none - x is All Real Numbers)
The inverse is when you swap the x's and y's and then solve for y
x = 8y² - 3 <em>swapped the x and y</em>
x + 3 = 8y² <em>added 3 to both sides</em>
<em>divided both sides by 8</em>
<em>square rooted both sides</em>
<em>simplified</em>
rationalized the denominator
<em>simplified</em>
<em>simplified</em>
<u>Restriction:</u>
The radical <em>(inside the square root sign)</em> cannot be negative
→ 2(x + 3) ≥ 0
x + 3 ≥ 0 <em>divided both sides by 2</em>
x ≥ -3 <em>subtracted 3 from both sides</em>
