What is the image of E for dilation with center (0, 0) and a scale factor of 6?
Solution:
Given: Centre at (0,0) and scale factor 6
Dilation is the transformation of an image from its original size to a different size without making any changes in its appearance/shape.
It stretches or shrinks the original image. The scale factor is the amount by which the original image is stretched or shrunk.
For example, A is a point (1, 2) and the scale factor is 2 then center of dilation is given as
OA= (1 × 2, 2 × 2) = (2, 4)
To find the new point we multiply the original point by the scale factor.
Since 0 × 6 = 0, then the given point (0, 0) stays the same: (0, 0).
The center remains the same, hence the image of dilation is unaltered.
What is the image of E for dilation with center (0, 0) and a scale factor of 6?
Summary:
The image of E for dilation with center (0, 0) and a scale factor of 6 is still the same, unaltered.
