Which compound inequality shows the range of a scale factor that would produce a reduction or shrinking of a preimage? Enter the number of the correct option.

Question

Which compound inequality shows the range of a scale factor that would produce a reduction or shrinking of a preimage? Enter the number of the correct option.

Option #1: −1≤x≤0

Option #2: 1>x≥2

Option #3: 0<x<1

Option #4: −1≤x≤1

(1 point)
Option #
shows the range of the scale factor that would produce a reduction.

Answer 1

Option #3: 0<x<1

Answer 2

The correct option is Option #3: 0<x<1. This compound inequality indicates that the scale factor (represented by the variable x) must be greater than 0 and less than 1 in order to produce a reduction or shrinking of the preimage.
