Points A and B are at (1 ,7 )(1,7) and (3 ,9 )(3,9), respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2 and dilated about point C by a factor of 5 5. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

C=(8,-7/2)C=(8,72)

Explanation:

"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "(3pi)/2under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of 3π2

• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x) a point (x,y)(y,x)

rArrA(1,7)toA'(7,-1)" where A' is the image of A"

rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(5)vec(CA')

rArrulb-ulc=5(ula'-ulc)

rArrulb-ulc=5ula'-5ulc

rArr4ulc=5ula'-ulb

color(white)(rArr4ulc)=5((7),(-1))-((3),(9))

color(white)(rArr4ulc)=((35),(-5))-((3),(9))=((32),(-14))

rArrulc=1/4((32),(-14))=((8),(-7/2))

rArrC=(8,-7/2)
