Dilations

Question 1 • Integrated Math II (B) - SHARP

Which of the following scale factors will result in an enlargement?

Answer
A
k < –1
B
–1 < k < 0
C
0 < k < 1
D
k = 1

Explanation

A dilation enlarges a figure when the scale factor’s absolute value is greater than 1. For k < −1, |k| > 1, so the image is larger (and reflected because the scale factor is negative). The other choices have an absolute value of 1 or less, so they do not produce an enlargement.
