Answer:
f(1) = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) is the value of f(x) when x = 1, that is from the table
f(1) = 24
First use PEMDAS so 26x2=52
52-3=49
4+49=53
53x4
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
