<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The correct answer<em> </em><em><u>is true</u></em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u>Dilation</u> is a type of transformation which stretches and reduces the size of the original figure.

A dilation has a center of dilation and a dilation scale factor. If the scale factor is less than one then the original size will shrink, and if the scale factor is greater than one then the figure will increase in size.

Dilation transformation does not alter the shape of a figure but alters the size by making it bigger or smaller.

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to determine whether our given statement is true or false.

Statement:

Dilating a triangle changes the size of the triangle but does not change its shape.

We know that dilation changes the size of the image as dilation enlarges or shrinks a given image.

We also know that dilation does not change the shape of figure. Therefore, our given statement is true.

What is the e at the end of a scientific number?

kherson [118]

Scientific notation is another way to write a number. In scientific notation, the letter E is used to mean "10 to the power of." For example, 1.314E+1 means 1.314 * 101 which is 13.14 .

What is the quotient in simplified form? State any restrictions on the variable? \frac{x^2-16}{x^2+5x+6} /\frac{x^2+5x+4}{x^2-2x

lora16 [44]

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+5x+6} / \frac{x^2+5x+4}{x^2-2x-8}$

We can begin by rearranging this into multiplication:

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+5x+6} * \frac{x^2-2x-8}{x^2+5x+4}$

Now we can factor the numerators and denominators:

$\frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{(x+3)(x+2)} * \frac{(x-4)(x+2)}{(x+4)(x+1)}$

The factors (x+4) and (x+2) cancel out, leaving us with:

$\frac{(x-4)}{(x+3)} * \frac{(x-4)}{(x+1)}$

Our answer comes out to be:

$\frac{(x-4)^{2} }{(x+3)(x+1)}$ or $\frac{ x^{2} -8x+16}{ x^{2}+4x+3 }$

Based on the numerator of the second fraction (since we used its inverse), the denominators of both, and the factors we canceled out earlier, the restrictions are x ≠ -4, -3, -2, -1, 4
