The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with a center of dilation at (2,−1) .

what is the scale factor of the dilation?

a. 1/3
b. 1/2
c. 2
d. 3

Option B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with the center of dilation at (2, -1).

we have to calculate the scale factor of the dilation.

One point of the large triangle is (-4, -1). After dilation it has become (-1, -1) of the smaller one.

If we consider the x coordinates of the point x = -4 has reduced down to -1 therefore scale factor = side of small triangle/side of the large triangle = (2 + 1)/(2 + 4) = 3/6 = 1/2

Therefore Option B. 1/2 is the answer.

B. 1/2

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
