a scale factor of (0.125 or 8) was applied to the first triangle to the get the resulting image

this scale factor is (an enlargement or a reduction)

Part A) The scale factor is equal to

Part B) Is an enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to divide the corresponding side of the resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle

Let

z----> the scale factor

x------> the corresponding side of the resulting triangle

y-----> the corresponding side of the first triangle

so

we have

substitute

Remember that

If the scale factor is greater than one------> is an enlargement

If the scale factor is less than one------> is a reduction

In this problem

-------> is an enlargement

i need the options

step-by-step explanation:

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
