Transformations in Geometry

  1. Let T : R^3 → R^3 be the transformation

T

x 1 x 2 x 3

x 1 x 2 0

a) Show that T is a linear transformation.

b) Find a matrix A such that T (~x) = A~x for all ~x.

c) Compute T

In each part below, you are given a matrix A. Draw what happens to the vectors ~e 1 and ~e 2 after applying the linear transformation T (~x) = A~x. Describe the effect of the linear transformation in words.

(a) A =

[ 1. 5 0

]

(b) A =

[ 0

]

  1. For each part, find a matrix A that performs the given transformation.

(a) A 2 × 2 matrix that rotates every vector in R^2 30 ◦^ counterclockwise and scales it by a factor of 2.

(b) A 3 × 3 matrix that reflects every vector in R^3 over the xy−plane.

(c) A 3 × 3 matrix that rotates every vector in R^3 180 ◦^ around the y−axis.
