Which scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image?

Mathematics

Lilit [14]3 years ago

Answer: −2  and −1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation of a geometric image that is known to change its size but not the shape.

The size of the figure basically depends on the scale factor (k) .

When k >1 , then there would be expansion.

When k<1 , then there would be contraction.

When k=1 , then no change in size.

i.e. For contraction , the scale factor (k) must be negative.

From the given options , the scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image would be  −2  and −1/2.

Hence,the correct answers are : −2  and −1/2.

aev [14]

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 numbers between 0 and 8.  3 of them are less than 3 (0, 1, and 2), and 1 of them is 6.

The probability is therefore (3/9) (1/9) = 1/27.

AJKL and ALMN are shown.
seropon [69]

Answer:

mLNM=63

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle JKL is isocelese so mKJL and KLJ are the same

180-72=108

108/2=54

so both mKLJ and mMLN are equal

and since triangle LMN is an isoceles then mLNM and mLMN are equal to each other

so 180-54=126

126/2=63

mLNM=63

I need help on 1/2/3/4

You may need to sit down with your parents or with your teacher and
go over how to add and subtract fractions.

1).  "Perimeter" means the distance all the way around the square.
With a square, all 4 sides are the same length.  With <u>this</u> square,
every side is 1-1/4 inches long.

Perimeter = length of all 4 sides= (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) =

                                               (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) + (1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4) =

                                                         4           +             4/4  =  <em>5 inches</em> .

2).  (2-3/8) + (1-7/8) = (2 + 1) + (3/8 + 7/8) =

                                        (3)   +    (10/8) =

                                         3    +      1-1/4 =        <em>4-1/4 .</em>

3).  The difference is  (1-1/6) minus (5/6) .

Before you start to do the subtraction, write the (1-1/6)  as  (7/6) .

Then the subtraction is    (7/6) - (5/6)  =  2/6  =  <em>1/3</em> .

4).  This one is almost the same kind of problem as #3. 
It's another subtraction.

If you need (2-1/4) all together, and you already have (1-3/8),
then the amount you still have to find, or borrow, or buy, is the
difference between those two numbers.

           (2-1/4) minus (1-3/8) .

The trick is to write the (2-1/4) in some form that you'll be able to
subtract (1-3/8) from it.  When I learned how to do that, it was called
'borrowing', but I think now it's called 'regrouping'.

We need to work on (2-1/4):

-- take 1 from the 2, and change it into fourths.
 
                 2-1/4  =  1 and 4/4 and 1/4  =  1 and 5/4

-- Now, take those 5/4, and turn them into eighths.                
   Each fourth makes 2 eighths.  So  5/4  =  10/8.

Now, the (2-1/4) has turned into  1-10/8 .
We did NOT change the value.  It's still the same amount
as 2-1/4 , but it's just written in a different way.
And now the subtraction is easy:

         (2-1/4) minus (1-3/8)  = 

       (1-10/8) minus (1-3/8)  =  (zero and 7/8).

You need  <em>7/8 inch</em>  more string than you already have.
