He is wrong. A transformation is a reduction when the scale factor is between -1 and 1. If the scale factor is greater than 1, then it's a dilation.

In this case, the scale factor is a fraction, but fractions can represent numbers outsise the [-1,1] interval.

In this case, in fact, 8/3 is an improper fraction, meaning exactly that it represents a number greater than 1.

So, this transformation is a dilation, becase the scale factor 8/3 is greater than 1.

Answer:

Elias is not correct. A scale factor of 8/3 is an enlargement because it is greater than 1. A reduction has a scale factor between 0 and 1.

I hope this helps. could I please have a brainliest? It would mean a whole lot to me.

Rewrite In simplest radical form x^5/6/x^1/6
Nady [450]
I assume you mean:

[x^(5/6)]/[x^(1/6)]

The rule for dividing similar bases with different exponents is:

(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)

In this case we have:

x^(5/6-1/6)

x^(4/6)

x^(2/3)

Three consecutive integers whose sum is -147
suter [353]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer be x

2nd integer = x + 1

3rd integer = x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -147

3x + 3 = -147

3x = -147 - 3

3x = -150

x = -150 ÷ 3

x = -50

The three consecutive integers are

-50, -49, -48

for a special concert by a popular band, the concert hall owner decided to charge $20 per ticket for the first "r" rows and $15
Alecsey [184]
R = 16 according to the problem, so the total amount of income will be:
$20*16 + $15*(40 - 16)
= $320 + <span>$15*(24)
= </span>$320 + <span>$360
= $680
that is the income, but the expenses are $275 so the total revenue is the subtraction of those two
total revenue = $680 - $275
= $405</span>
