What is the general form of linear functions/ transformations?
Matrix, position vector
What is the notation used to denote?
The image
Using identity matrix to figure out transformations
Find the angle and direction of rotation in each case
What is the difference between a stretch and a shear, and their general form :
What is the Shear Factor?
Reflect in the plane z=0
What are the matrices for rotation about the x, y and z axis on an angle of θ?
notice how the sin is only switched for the y axis rotations
what is the wording when describing rotaions in 3D?
rotation in the x axis
not plane
What is an invariant point?
What are invariant lines?
What is the formula for A^k+1 in terms of A?
(A^k)(A)
