Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction. Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each.?
A scale factor whose absolute value is greater than one is an enlargement whereas if the absolute value is less than 1 it is a reduction.
What is a negative scale factor?
A negative scale factor is used to produce the image on the other side of the centre of enlargement (scaled to the absolute value of the scale factor).
A dilation is a reduction if the scale factor is?
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
What is an enlargement with a negative scale factor?
It is a smaller shape on the other side of the centre of enlargement.
A problem in Math and you don't know how to solve it. Please help Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each?
If the dilation is >0 but <1, it is a reduction. If it is any number >1, it is an enlargement.
What type of dilation occurs with a scale factor of 14?
The type of dilation that occurs with a scale factor of 14 is enlargement. Any time the scale factor is larger than 1, it is enlargement.
How can you determine whether a dilation's is a reduction or a enlargement?
To determine whether a dilation is a reduction or an enlargement, compare the scale factor to 1. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement, as the image will be larger than the original. Conversely, if the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the dilation is a reduction, resulting in a smaller image. Additionally, you can observe the distances from the center of dilation; if they increase, it's an enlargement, and if they decrease, it's a reduction.
Is a scale factor of a dilation always between 0 and 1?
No, a scale factor of a dilation is not always between 0 and 1. A scale factor can be greater than 1, which results in enlargement, or it can be between 0 and 1, leading to a reduction. Additionally, a negative scale factor can invert the figure. Thus, the scale factor can vary widely, affecting the size and orientation of the figure being dilated.
What is the dilation of 22 if the scale factor is 2.5?
The dilation of 22 with scale factor 2.5 is 55.The formula for finding a dilation with a scale factor is x' = kx (k = scale factor), so x' = 2.5(22) = 55.
Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction. Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each.?
A scale factor whose absolute value is greater than one is an enlargement whereas if the absolute value is less than 1 it is a reduction.
Is a scale factor of 1 a dilation?
No a scale factor of 1 is not a dilation because, in a dilation it must remain the same shape, which it would, but the size must either enlarge or shrink.
Every dilation has a?

What is a negative scale factor?
A negative scale factor is used to produce the image on the other side of the centre of enlargement (scaled to the absolute value of the scale factor).
Another name for scale?

What information do you need to complete a given shape enlargement?
The scale or enlargement factor.
A dilation is a reduction if the scale factor is?
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
What is an enlargement with a negative scale factor?
It is a smaller shape on the other side of the centre of enlargement.
