Points A and B are at (1 ,8 )(1,8) and (3 ,2 )(3,2), respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2 and dilated about point C by a factor of 2 2. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

C=(13,-4)C=(13,4)

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(1,8)toA'(8,-1)" where "A'" is the image of A"

"under a dilatation about C of factor 2"

vec(CB)=2vec(CA')

rArrulb-ulc=2(ula'-ulc)

rArrulb-ulc=2ula'-2ulc

rArrulc=2ula'-ulb

color(white)(rArrulc)=2((8),(-1))-((3),(2))

color(white)(rArrulc)=((16),(-2))-((3),(2))=((13),(-4))

rArrC=(13,-4)
