<h3>Whats your question?</h3>
The answer is A.
When simplifying radicals, you can factor out anything that is a root. In this case we have a 4th root. We can break 144 to 16*9. By doing this, we can pull out 16 which has the 4th root 2 (2*2*2*2=16). Next, a^12 has the 4th root a^3. We can't do anything with the b^3 so it stays inside the root with the 9.

If you want to dilate an object you just need to enlarge or reduce the size of that object. In this way, the scale factor determines how much larger or smaller the object will become. So we know some facts:
- If this factor is greater than 1, the object will increase in size.
- if the factor is less than 1, the object will decrease in size.
One important thing is that the dilated object will be similar to its original. The missing figure is attached below. As you can see, when applying dilation the square ABCD is reduced in size to become the square A'B'C'D', thus the scale factor can be calculated as:

As you can see the factor is less than 1, so the object will decrease in size as we predicted.
