Exam questions on Linear transformations as matrices

  1. A linear transformation TT of the plane maps (1,0)(1,0) to (2,3)(2,3) and (0,1)(0,1) to (−1,4)(-1,4).
    Find the image of the point (−2,5)(-2,5) under TT.2 marks
  2. The matrix R=(0−110)\mathbf{R}=\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\ 1&0\end{pmatrix} represents the transformation RR and the matrix S=(100−1)\mathbf{S}=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\ 0&-1\end{pmatrix} represents the transformation SS.
    Find the image of the point (4,1)(4,1) under SS followed by RR.2 marks
  3. The linear transformation TT is represented by T=(21−13)\mathbf{T}=\begin{pmatrix}2&1\\ -1&3\end{pmatrix} and the linear transformation UU is represented by U=(120−1)\mathbf{U}=\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\ 0&-1\end{pmatrix}.
    Find the matrix that represents TT followed by UU, and use it to find the image of the point (1,2)(1,2) under this combined transformation.3 marks
