Express vectors in terms of b and d and example of unit

square

#####⃗ = b and #####⃗

In the parallelogram shown below, 𝐴𝐵 𝐴𝐷 = d. Also, X is the
midpoint of BC
and Y lies on DC such that DY = 2CY

Express the following vectors in terms of b and d.

#####⃗
(a). 𝐴𝐶 #####⃗
(b). 𝐵𝑋 #####⃗
(c). 𝐴𝑋 #####⃗
(d). 𝐷𝑌 #####⃗
(e). 𝐴𝑌 (f). #####⃗
𝑋𝑌

#####⃗ = #####⃗ !
(a) 𝐴𝐶 𝐴𝐷 + #####⃗
𝐷𝐶 (b) #####⃗
𝐵𝑋 = 𝐵𝐶#####⃗ (c) 𝐴𝑋 = 𝐴𝐵 + 𝐵𝑋

The Unit Square

The unit square can be written as:

0 1 1 0
, /
0 0 1 1

1 0
Look at the matrix M= , /, and multiply by the unit square:
0 −1

Transformation matrix x object matrix = image matrix

O A B C 𝑶 ′ 𝑨′ 𝑩′ 𝑪′
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
, / , /=. , /
0 −1 0 0 1 1 0 0 −1 −1

1 0
So , / represents a reflection in the 𝒙 − 𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒔
0 −1
