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 and the center of dilation is point , then .
- A dilation with a scale factor means that the distance from the center of dilation to a point is scaled by times the distance from to .
- Since , this means .
- 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.
