Geometric Dilations

A scale factor of less than one means

• that the prime image will be larger than the pre-image.
• That the prime image will be the same as the preimage.
• That you need to subtract that amount off  of each side.
• That the prime image will be a reduction of the preimage.

How do you write the algebraic notation for a dilation from the origin with a scale factor of 3?

• (x, y) --> (1/3x, 1/3y)

• (x, y) --> (-3x, -3y)

Is this an enlargement or a reduction? What is the scale factor if the origin is the center of dilation?

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 1/2.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/2.

Does the image show a dilation centered at the origin? If yes, did the image enlarge, reduce or none of the above...and by what scale factor?

• Yes, it is an enlargement with a scale factor of 2

• Yes, it is a reduction with a scale factor of 1/2

• No, it is not a dilation

• No, it is not centered at the origin
