To dilate a line segment by a factor of ( k ) around a point, we need to:
- Translate the line segment so that the center of dilation coincides with the origin.
- Dilate the translated line segment by multiplying the coordinates of its endpoints by ( k ).
- Translate the dilated line segment back to its original position.
Given endpoints ( A(5, 9) ) and ( B(8, 2) ) and a dilation factor of ( k = 2 ) around the point ( C(5, 3) ), we follow these steps:
-
Translate the line segment so that ( C ) coincides with the origin:
- Subtract the coordinates of ( C ) from the coordinates of ( A ) and ( B ): ( A'(5-5, 9-3) = A'(0, 6) ) and ( B'(8-5, 2-3) = B'(3, -1) ).
-
Dilate the translated line segment by multiplying the coordinates of its endpoints by ( k = 2 ):
- ( A''(2 \times 0, 2 \times 6) = A''(0, 12) ) and ( B''(2 \times 3, 2 \times -1) = B''(6, -2) ).
-
Translate the dilated line segment back to its original position:
- Add the coordinates of ( C ) to the coordinates of ( A'' ) and ( B'' ): ( A'''(0+5, 12+3) = A'''(5, 15) ) and ( B'''(6+5, -2+3) = B'''(11, 1) ).
Therefore, the new endpoints of the line segment after dilation are ( A'''(5, 15) ) and ( B'''(11, 1) ).
To find the length of the line segment, we use the distance formula:
[ \text{Length} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} ]
Substituting the coordinates of the endpoints ( A'''(5, 15) ) and ( B'''(11, 1) ):
[ \text{Length} = \sqrt{(11 - 5)^2 + (1 - 15)^2} ] [ = \sqrt{6^2 + (-14)^2} ] [ = \sqrt{36 + 196} ] [ = \sqrt{232} ]
So, the length of the line segment after dilation is ( \sqrt{232} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
