1) Describe fully the geometrical transformations represented by the matrices

and . [4]
Answer
S: Two way stretch with factor invariant and factor invariant. [2]
T: Shear, invariant with factor . [2]

2) Find the image of the line under the transformation . [5]

Answer
Method 1
The general point of the line is
Now:

(i)
(ii)

From (i):

Substituting (iii) into (ii):

(ii)

Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results...Competition is a by-product of

productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the
desire to beat others... Page 1

 The image line is .

Method 2
We can find any two points on the line
i.e. and

Now let’s find the images of these points.

Let and

Also:

Now let’s find the gradient between and :

Now the equation is given by:

The image line is .

3) Given that

a) Find . [6]

Answer

Matrix of Minors

Matrix of Cofactors

We multiply the matrix of minors by the pattern:

Adjoint Matrix

We interchange rows and columns

Finding the determinant

Several method are used but i have opted for the safest method which ensures us if
the Adjoint matrix is correct.

i.e. if it is correct.

Now:

The gradient is
