Question

If you transform x2 + y2 = 25 into 4x2 + 4y2 = 25, which option below describes the effect of this transformation on the radius? A. It multiplies the radius by 2. B.It multiplies the radius by 4. C.It divides the radius by 4. D.It divides the radius by 2.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Answer 2

C. It divides the radius by 4.

Explanation:

We have x2 + y2 = 25.

If all terms were multiplied by 4, we would have 4x2 + 4y2 = 100. But, the radius is 25 units. 100 / 25 = 4. So, the radius was divided by 4.

Hope this helps!
