Saturday, 22 September 2018

2. (a) The Diagram shows a picture of a unit square with coordinates A,
B and C labelled, where A(1, 0) , B(0, 1) and C(1, 1)
(b) Draw the image of the unit square under the transformation defined by the matrix
(c) Write down the new coordinates of A and B. What relationship do you notice between these coordinates and the matrix? x y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A B C 4 3 4 3
A written as maps onto
Which is the first column in the matrix
B written as maps onto
Which is the second column in the matrix

3. Using the unit square to find a matrix
Example
Which transformation is equivalent to a rotation of 90 anticlockwise about the origin? y B 1 A’ B’ 1 A -1 x

4. Which transformation is equivalent to a reflection in the x-axis?
Example
Which transformation is equivalent to a reflection in the x-axis?
If we look at the movement of A(1, 0)
And B(0, 1) when the transformation is about the origin then we can obtain the matrix y B
Making use of the unit square reduces the amount of work required. 1 1 A x A’ B’
Hence

5. Example
Which transformation is equivalent to an enlargement with scale factor 5, centre the origin? 5 y B 1 A 1 5 x
Hence

6. Example
Which transformation is defined by the matrix ? y B 1 B’ 1 A -1 x A’
 A reflection in the line y = –x

7. Combined Transformations
Example
If and represent transformations M and N respectively, describe M N MN

8. (i) M y B A’ 1 B’ 1 A -1 x
 M represents a reflection in the line y = x

9. (ii) N y B 1 A’ 1 A x B’ -1
 N represents a reflection in x-axis

10. (iii) MN y B A’ 1 B’ -1 1 A x
 MN represents a rotation of 90 anticlockwise about the origin.

11. Example
If and represent transformations S and T respectively, describe S T ST
Would TS give the same result?

12. (i) S y B A’ 1 B’ 1 A -1 x
 S represents a rotation of 90 anticlockwise about the origin.

13. (ii) T y B A’ 1 B’ 1 A x -1
 T represents a reflection in y=x

14. (iii) ST y B’ B 1
 ST represents a reflection in the y-axis. A’ -1 1 A x
 TS represents a reflection in the x-axis.

15. Second transformation
Example
The triangle, T with corner (1, 0), (3, 0) and (3, 3) is mapped onto T’ by the matrix
(a) Calculate the position of T’ and draw both T and T’.
The matrix now maps T’ onto T’’.
(b) calculate the new position of T’’ and draw it on the same diagram.
(c) Work out the matrix which would move T directly onto T’’. y x 2 4
– 2
– 4 6
– 6 1
T’’ 3 3 T’ T -3 2
(c) 6 6
