Answer:

A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction. A dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure. A description of a dilation includes the scale factor (or ratio) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane.

Work this out by giving your answer as a fraction 2/3 - 1/2

suter [353]

When subtracting fractions, you need to make sure the denominators are the same. In 2/3 - 1/2, the denominators are different. To make them the same, find the least common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6

2/3 becomes 4/6

1/2 becomes 3/6

Now subtract the fractions with the common denominator

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

The answer is 1/6

Solve the following system algerbraically: y=-3(x-2) squared+4 y=-6x+16

pishuonlain [190]

$y = - 3(x - 2) ^{2} + 4$
$y = - 6x + 16$
distribute the -3 and the square into the first equation
$y = - 3x ^{2} + 12x - 8$
$y = - 6x + 16$
multiply the second equation by 2
$y = - 3x ^{2} + 12x - 8$
$y = - 12x + 32$
add the equations together
$y = - 3x ^{2} + 24$
factor out -3
$y = - 3(x ^{2} - 8)$
factor inside parenthesis
$y = - 3(x + \sqrt{8} )( x - \sqrt{8})$
refine
$y = - 3(x + 2 \sqrt{2} )(x - 2 \sqrt{2} )$
