Q

What does this infer: T(a+b)

A

Since T(a+b)=Ta+Tb you can add 2 image vectors to find the 4th vertex after a transformation has been done

29
How do you show that some line (eg y=3x) is invariant under this transformation?
30
What is the matrix which represents an anticlockwise rotation through angle , ø, around the origin
31
What are the 4 reflection matrices that you need to know? State the matrices
32
What is extremely important to remember when using the rotation matrix?
It is in an anticlockwise direction
33
When using the rotation matrix, what is the invariant point?
0,0 (the origin)
34
When using the rotation matrix, when is there no invariant lines?
When ø≠180
35
When using the rotation matrix, when are there invariant lines and what are they?
When ø=180 Any line passing through the origin is an invariant line when ø=180
36
When has an enlargement occurred?
When both sides have been enlarged by the same factor
37
What do you do if you are asked to describe a stretch?
You need to state the scale factor for both sides
38
What is the stretch matrix?
39
Explain the core concept of the stretch matrix?
There is a stretch of scale factor a parallel to the x axis There is a stretch of scale factor b parallel to they y axis
40
When is the stretch matrix going to result in an enlargement?
When a=b
41
What are the invariant lines in the stretch matrix? What is the invariant point?
The x and y axis are invariant lines The origin is the invariant point
42
What will the simpler matrix be for a stretch only parallel to the x axis?
43
What will the simpler matrix be for a stretch only parallel to the y axis?
44
For a stretch parallel to the x axis only, what are the invariant points and lines?
For a stretch parallel to the x axis only, points on the y axis are invariant points and any line parallel to the x axis is an invariant line
45
For a stretch parallel to the y axis only, what are the invariant points and lines?
For a stretch parallel to the y axis only, points on the x axis are invariant points and any line parallel to the y axis is an invariant line
46
What is the geometry difference between Reflections and stretches?
Reflections preserve their shape and area Rotations preserve their shape and area Stretches don't preserve their shape or area
47
For a linear transformation represented by matM, what does detM represent?
Scale factor for the change in area Aka, the area scale factor
48
Using the determinant ow do you know that a reflection has occurred?
DetM will be negative so the area scale factor will be negative
49
How can you calculate the area scale factor?
Finding detM The area scale factor will be the linear scale actor squared
50
What do you know about a non zero singular 2x2 matrix representing a linear transformation?
It will map any point in the plane onto a straight line through the origin
51
What matrix represents a reflection in the plane x=0?
52
What matrix represents a reflection in the plane z=0?
53
What matrix represents a rotation of angle θ around the x axis?
54
What matrix represents a rotation of angle θ around the y axis?
55
What matrix represents a rotation of angle θ around the z axis?
56
Is the rotation around the x,y and z axis in the clockwise pr anticlockwise direction?
Anticlockwise
57
How do you calculate the volume of a tetrahedron?
58
In all cases how is θ measured in a rotation matrix?
In all cases θ is the angle measured anticlockwise when facing towards the origin from the positive side of the axis
59
What does the matrix PQ represent?
The Matrix PQ represents the transformation of Q (with matrix Q) followed by the transformation of P (with the matrix P) (Think about reversing the compound transformation)
60
What is the only time that you will need to recognise that a matrix will be squared?
If C is represented by matM, then C followed by C will be represented by M^2
61
What are the 3 unit vectors when you are in 3D?
62
63
In 3D what does x=0 represent?
They planer of x (a 2D shape not a line)
64
Have a general idea of what the different planes look like?
65
What 2 things do you need to remember about matrices?
AB≠BA
66
How can we use the inverse of a matrix to our advantage?
The bottom bit is the important bit
67
What do you need to remember to do when describing a rotation?
Say AROUND THE ORIGIN
68
.
69
What is the matrix for a reflection in the y axis?
100 0-10 001
70
What is a tip for reflections in 3D matrices?
The only change is in that reflections unit vector
71
What is a top for 3D rotation matrices?
That rotations unit vector stays the same
