Adilation is an enlargement if the scale factor is between 0 and 1. greater than 1. less than 0. equal to 1.

Dilation is one of the several means by which we can transform a graph. A function is dilated when is stretched away from an axis or compressed towards an axis. So this means there are 2 types of dilation: a) Stretch (Enlargement) and b) Compression.

Depending on the direction of Dilation, we have Horizontal Dilation and Vertical Dilation.

For a function y = f(x), horizontal dilation is achieved when x is replaced by and vertical dilation is achieved when y is replaced by where A is the scale factor.

In each of these cases, the function will be stretched if |A| > 1 and will be compressed if |A| < 1.

Therefore, the answer to the given question is:

A dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor is greater than 1.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
