Dilation is a transformation of scaling that requires a center of scaling and a factor of scaling.
Similarity is a relationship between two figures when there is a special transformation that transforms one figure into another.
This transformation can include any combination of rotation, shift and dilation.
That's why a pair of a source and its image after dilation are similar, but not all similar figures can be connected by dilation. For instance, rotation and/or shift transform a figure into another, similar one to the original, but not related through dilation..
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 8x = 4
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 4 + 16, thus
(x + 4)² = 20 ← equivalent equation
Answer:
u = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
t = - rsu ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
- t = rsu ( divide both sides by rs )
- = u
