The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. the center of dilation is (6, 6) . what is the scale factor used to create the dilation?

The preimage is the solid triangle while the image is the dashed triangle. Recall that any transformation takes a preimage and maps it to an image. The "preimage" is the "before"; while the "image" is the "after"

Preimage ---> Image

Before ---> After

The "pre" is one way to help remember it means "before".

The preimage has a horizontal segment length of 15 units (count from x=-9 to x=6 and you should count out 15 spaces). The corresponding horizontal piece on the dashed triangle is only 3 units long. Divide the image length over the preimage length

(image length)/(preimage length) = 3/15 = 1/5 = 0.2

Now if the figure wasn't reflected over the point (6,6), then the final answer would be either 1/5 or 0.2; however, this reflection does happen so we need to make the scale factor negative. So we go from 1/5 to -1/5, and we go from 0.2 to -0.2

Final Answer as a fraction: -1/5

Final Answer in decimal form: -0.2

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
