Question

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

Answer 1

`C=(3,-16)`

Explanation:

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

`• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x)`

`rArrA(7,3)toA'(3,-7)" where A' is the image of A"`

`rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(2)vec(CA')`

`rArrulb-ulc=2(ula'-ulc)`

`rArrulb-ulc=2ula'-2ulc`

`rArrulc=2ula'-ulb`

`color(white)(rArrulc)=2((3),(-7))-((3),(2))`

`color(white)(rArrulc)=((6),(-14))-((3),(2))=((3),(-16))`

`rArrC=(3,-16)`
