To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.
If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.
-4 is an expansion
2.5 is an expansion
2/3 is a contraction
-3/4 is a contraction
Answer: 1st is 16 2nd is 48 the 3rd one is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part 1)
The possible multiplicities are:
multiplicity 1
multiplicity 3
multiplicity 1
multiplicity 2
Part 2
The factored form is

Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1.
The missing diagram is shown in the attachment.
The zeroes of the seventh degree polynomial are the x-intercepts of the graph.
From the graph, we have x-intercepts at:
,
,
, and
.
The multiplicities tell us how many times a root repeats.
Also, even multiplicities will not cross their x-intercept, while odd multiplicities cross their x-intercepts.
The possible multiplicities are:
multiplicity 1
multiplicity 3
multiplicity 1
multiplicity 2
Note that the total multiplicity must equate the degree.
Part 2)
According to the factor theorem, if
is a zero of p(x), then
is a factor.
Using the multiplicities , we can write the factors as:




Therefore the completely factored form of this seventh degree polynomial is 
If you're meaning write it in standard form it would be
y=1/4x+1
Yes, Juan is correct only equal groups can be multiplied.
