Points A and B are at (1 ,1 )(1,1) and (4 ,7 )(4,7), 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?

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(1,1)toA'(1,-1)" 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((1),(-1))-((4),(7))
color(white)(rArrulc)=((2),(-2))-((4),(7))=((-2),(-9))
rArrC=(-2,-9)
