Vertical dilation takes the form y=kf(x)y=kf(x) where kk is the vertical scale factor.
Horizontal dilation takes the form y=f(ax)y=f(ax) where the scale factor can be found from xFactorxFactor or Factor=1aFactor=1a .
i. Since the dilation (stretch/shrink) is horizontal with a factor of 1515, we follow the horizontal dilation form y=f(ax)y=f(ax).

The original function y=x2y=x2 will become y=(5x)2y=(5x)2 or simply y=25x2y=25x2.
ii. Since the dilation is vertical with a factor of 2525, we follow the vertical dilation form y=(k)f(x)y=(k)f(x). Remember that kk is the scale factor.
So, we can say the k=25k=25.
From there, the original function y=x2y=x2 will become y=25x2y=25x2.
i. y=25x2y=25x2 and ii. y=25x2y=25x2

4. i. y=3x3+12xy=3x3+12x and ii. y=(3x)3+12xy=(3x)3+12x
Vertical dilation takes the form y=kf(x) where k is the vertical scale factor.
Horizontal dilation takes the form y=f(ax) where the scale factor can be found from xFactor or Factor=1a .
To find which type of dilation (stretch/shrink) is happening, compare the transformed function y=1(4x)+6 to the vertical dilation form y=kf(x) and the horizontal dilation form y=f(ax).
The transformed function y=1(4x)+6 looks like the horizontal dilation form y=f(ax). This means that a=4.
Calculate the horizontal scale factor by using Factor=1a and a=4.

Question 4 of 6
4. Question
What is the equation when y=x2+5 is vertically dilated (stretch/shrink) by a factor of -1.
Vertical dilation takes the form y=kf(x) where k is the vertical scale factor.
Horizontal dilation takes the form y=f(ax) where the scale factor can be found from xFactor or Factor=1a .
Since the dilation (stretch/shrink) is vertical with a factor of -1, we follow the vertical dilation form y=(k)f(x). Remember that k is the scale factor.
So, we can say the k=-1.
From there, the original function y=x2+5 will become y=-1(x2+5) or simply y=-x2-5.
y=-x2-5

5. Question
What is the equation when x2+y2=25 is vertically dilated (stretch/shrink) by a factor of 14.
Vertical dilation takes the form y=kf(x) where k is the vertical scale factor.
Horizontal dilation takes the form y=f(ax) where the scale factor can be found from xFactor or Factor=1a .
Since the dilation (stretch/shrink) is vertical with a factor of 14, we follow the vertical dilation form y=(k)f(x). Remember that k is the scale factor.
So, we can say the k=14.
From there, the original function x2+(y14)2=25 will become x2+(4y)2=25 or simply x2+16y2=25.
x2+16y2=25

6. Question
What dilation (stretch/shrink) is needed to transform y=x3+6x to y=18x3+3x?
Vertical dilation takes the form y=kf(x) where k is the vertical scale factor.
Horizontal dilation takes the form y=f(ax) where the scale factor can be found from xFactor or Factor=1a .
To find which type of dilation (stretch/shrink) is happening, compare the transformed function y=18x3+3x to the vertical dilation form y=kf(x) and the horizontal dilation form y=f(ax).
The transformed function y=18x3+3x looks like the horizontal dilation form y=f(ax). This means that a=36 or simply a=12.
Calculate the horizontal scale factor by using Factor=1a and a=12.
