How does a scale factor change the size of a figure?

The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).

3 x 6 = 18

The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.

Hello!

The scale factor shows how much a figure is dilated. For example, if you have a square that has an area of 4, and it is dilated by a scale factor of 2, its area will become 8, or with a scale factor of 1/2, it will become 2/

I hope this helps!

Consider the region bounded by the curves y=|x^2+x-12|,x=-5,and x=5 and the x-axis
Tasya [4]
Ooh, fun

what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0

because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up

so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points

we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5


A.
\int\limits^{-5}_{-4} {x^2+x-12} \, dx + \int\limits^{-4}_3 {-x^2-x+12} \, dx + \int\limits^3_5 {x^2+x-12} \, dx

B.
sepearte the integrals
\int\limits^{-5}_{-4} {x^2+x-12} \, dx = [\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-5}_{-4}=(\frac{-125}{3}+\frac{25}{2}+60)-(\frac{64}{3}+8+48)=\frac{23}{6}

next one
\int\limits^{-4}_3 {-x^2-x+12} \, dx=-1[\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-4}_{3}=-1((-64/3)+8+48)-(9+(9/2)-36))=\frac{343}{6}

the last one you can do yourself, it is \frac{50}{3}
the sum is \frac{23}{6}+\frac{343}{6}+\frac{50}{3}=\frac{233}{3}


so the area under the curve is \frac{233}{3}
