The image is bigger than the pre-image.
It remains fixed in position and all the other vertices move towards or away from it depending on whether the scale factor is less than 1 or greater than one.
The object will shrink, stay the same or grow.
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
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.
The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
A scale factor greater than 1.
It depends on the aspect ratio. If it is a square object then it should scale up evenly. But if it is a rectangle then eventually a large enough scale factor will make it looked stretch on the longer sides.
Scale factors whose absolute values are greater than 1.
it becomes smaller
Scaling will proportionally reduce or enlarge a figure. The amount of scaling is given by the scale factor (greater than zero) If the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced and it is sometimes called a contraction If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged, and it is called a dilation or enlargement. If a centre of enlargement is used, the distance of every point from the centre is multiplied by the scale factor. The scale factor can be negative in which case the distance to the new point is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original point.
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.
In math, a scale factor is a number that describes how much a figure is enlarged or reduced in size when creating a similar figure. It is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar geometric figures. A scale factor greater than 1 indicates an enlargement, while a scale factor less than 1 indicates a reduction. For example, if a scale factor of 2 is applied to a triangle, each side of the triangle will be doubled in length.

To find the scale factor in math, compare the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side in one figure by the length of the corresponding side in the other figure. If the figures are enlarged, the scale factor will be greater than 1; if they are reduced, it will be less than 1. Make sure to use the same corresponding sides to ensure accuracy.
