factor of 8/3. Elias says that will be a reduction because the scale factor is a fraction. Is he correct? Explain.

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.

sasho [114]

The product of any two numbers is composite ( true/false) and why?
Reptile [31]
<u><em>FALSE.</em></u><em></em> 
A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. This is false because of the possibility of the following scenario:
The two numbers are 1 and a prime number.
This is because <em>one multiplied by any number is that number.</em> A prime number cannot become a composite number just because it is being multiplied by one. For example:
1 x 7 = 7 (prime) 
Hope this helps!
