Algebraic Representation of Dilation

What is Dilation?

• Dilation means to enlarge or reduce
• Dilation means to reflect on something
• Dilation means to like something
• Dilation means to make something different by making it smaller

The __________ is the ratio of a length of the image to the corresponding length on the original figure.

• reduction
• enlargement
• scale factor
• center of dilation

Definition: The figure after a transformation has occurred. 

• Pre-image
• Image
• Translation
• Reflection

Definition: The figure before a transformation has occurred. 

• Pre-image
• Image
• Translation
• Reflection

If the scale factor is less than one, the new figure will be

• an enlargement
• a reduction
• a scale factor
• bigger

If the scale factor is greater than one, the new figure will be

• a reduction
• an enlargement
• a scale
• not proportional

How do you write the algebraic notation when the scale factor is 3?

• (x, y) goes to (1/3x, 1/3y)
• (x, y) goes to (-3x, -3y)
• (x, y) goes to (x + 3, y + 3)
• (x, y) goes to (3x, 3y)

How do you write the algebraic notation when the scale factor is 1/2?

• (x, y) goes to (2x, 2y)
• (x, y) goes to (1/2x, 1/2y)
• (x, y) goes to (-2x, -2y)
• (x, y) goes to (2x, 1/2y)

In a dilation what mathematical operation is used with the scale factor?

• addition 
• subtraction 
• multiplication 
• division
