Math Problem Statement

Solve geometric transformation problems, including translations, rotations, and reflections on given points.

Solution

It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a series of geometric transformation exercises, including rotations, reflections, translations, and some vector-related problems. Let me guide you through solving a few of these problems.

1. Question 6 - Use your rules to solve these transformations

For example:

  • (a) T2,1(A(5,4))T_{2,-1}(A(5,4)) involves a translation by 2 units right and 1 unit down. To compute: A(5+2,41)=A(7,3)A'(5 + 2, 4 - 1) = A'(7, 3)

  • (d) T3,5(A(4,3))T_{-3, 5}(A(4,-3)): A(43,3+5)=A(1,2)A'(4 - 3, -3 + 5) = A'(1, 2)

2. Rotation problem example

  • R90(A(3,2))R_{90^\circ}(A(3, 2)): A 90-degree rotation about the origin involves swapping the coordinates and changing the sign of the new x-coordinate. A(x,y)=(y,x)=(2,3)A'(x', y') = (-y, x) = (-2, 3)

3. Reflection Problem

  • Reflect over the y-axis, Ry(A(5,1))R_y(A(5,-1)): Reflections over the y-axis reverse the sign of the x-coordinate. A(5,1)A(5,1)A'(5, -1) \rightarrow A'(-5, -1)

Would you like help with any specific problem from this set?

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How do you determine coordinates after a 180-degree rotation?
  2. Can you describe how translation affects the x and y coordinates of a point?
  3. How would reflecting over the x-axis change the coordinates of a point?
  4. What is the geometric effect of a 270-degree rotation?
  5. How can you find the smallest positive angle for a given rotation matrix?

Tip: In transformations, always pay attention to the order of operations when combining multiple steps (e.g., reflect and then translate).
