A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so

A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')
So




We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.

Let's graph these and see if we're close,
Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}
Check the picture below.
recall that in a square, all sides are equal, so if we make b = a, then we get that for one side, also recall that the area of a rectangle is length*width, so in this case,
Answer:9400 backpacks
Step-by-step explanation
since the number of packs to be sold in a is represented by x,
selling price for 1 week = 35x
cost price for 1 week = 15x
profit = 35x-15x = 20x
additional cost of production = 11,000
this implies that 20x - 11,000
7800
20x - 11,000
7,800
20x
7800+ 11000
20x
18,800
x
18800/2
x
9,400
at least 9,400 packs have to be sold each week to make a profit of $7800
