Graph the image of this figure after a dilation with a scale factor of centered at the point (4, - 2). Use the polygon tool to graph the dilated figure.

the answer is stop cheating on things stoopid

step-by-step explanation:

im eatin up the 44

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
