Math Problem Statement

1. If k = 5 and the center of dilation is point O, then OA' = 5OA. True or False? 2. What will the image look like after a pre-image has been dilated by a scale factor of 1?

Solution

Let's analyze each question in the image:

Question 1:

Statement: If k=5k = 5 and the center of dilation is point OO, then OA=5OAOA' = 5OA.

  • A dilation with a scale factor kk means that the distance from the center of dilation OO to a point AA' is scaled by kk times the distance from OO to AA.
  • Since k=5k = 5, this means OA=5OAOA' = 5 \cdot OA.
  • This statement is true.

Question 2:

Statement: What will the image look like after a pre-image has been dilated by a scale factor of 1?

  • A scale factor of 1 means that the image retains the same size as the pre-image.
  • Thus, the image will neither expand nor shrink.
  • The correct answer is: It will be the same size as the pre-image.

Tip:

A scale factor of less than 1 shrinks the image, while a scale factor greater than 1 enlarges it.
