Sales of a certain product are declining at a rate proportional to the amount of sales. If at the end of the first year the sales have declined by 22%, then how many years will have passed (since the beginning of the first year) when sales become only 31% of their original value? Express your answer as a decimal, correct to within 0.001 years.

Answercounterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axisexplanationthe given figure has verticesrecall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will becomenext, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain,therefore the correct answer is c
