Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points are
And given transformation is
We will start from left to right.
First transformation is reflection about x-axis.
When we reflect about x-axis
So,
Now next transformation is dilation with a factor 4.
If we do dilation with a factor to the point
New co-ordinates after dilation became
Marco's age is 7 years old
Let
x ----> Marco's age
y ----> Paolo's age
we know that
----> ----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
Solve the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have
so
substitute in the formula
Remember that the solution cannot be a negative number
The solution is x=7
therefore
$7,333.33 (approximately)
First step: = 1,000,000,000,000
Second step: 2.2 x 1,000,000,000,000 = 2,200,000,000,000
Third step: 2,200,000,000,000 ÷ 300,000,000 = 7,333.333333333333
