Respuesta :

anything that is multiplied by a number over 1 will get bigger. any other number such as negatives or fractions/decimals will get smaller. 1.25 and 3 are expansions and -2,3/4, and 1/5 are contractions

Answer: Contraction = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4},\ \dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

Expansion = 1.25, -3, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the scale factor .

Expansion : |k|>1

Contraction : 0<|k|<1

Let's check the given scale factors :

1.25> 1, then this scale factor is an expansion.

3> 1, then this scale factor is an expansion.

|-2|=2>1, then this scale factor is an expansion.

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75[/tex]

& 0<0.75<1 , thus [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] is an contraction.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]

& 0<0.2<1 , thus [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] is an contraction.
