The general clockwise rotation matrix in $RR^2$ is $ mat(cos theta, sin theta; -sin theta, cos theta) $ We have $theta = (3pi)/2$, and $ cos((3pi) / 2) = 0, sin((3pi) / 2) = -1 $ So our particular rotation matrix is $ T = mat(0, -1; 1, 0) $ Clearly, the linear transformation that reflects a vector across the vertical axis changes the first standard basis vector, $vec(1, 0)$, to $vec(-1, 0)$. This corresponds to the linear transformation (matrix) $ S = mat(-1, 0; 0, 1) $ Matrix composition, $compose$, is an equivalent notion to matrix multiplication. Therefore, we have the two compositions. + #[ $T compose S$, the linear transformation corresponding to a reflection followed by rotation: $ T compose S &= mat(0, -1; 1, 0) mat(-1, 0; 0, 1) \ &#[using _column by coordinate_ rule] \ &= mat((-1 vec(0,1) + 0 vec(-1,0)), (0 vec(0,1) + 1 vec(-1,0))) \ &= mat(0, -1,;-1, 0) $ ] + #[ $S compose T$, the linear transformation corresponding to rotation, followed by reflection. Since matrix composition is generally not commutative, we obtain a different matrix. $ S compose T &= mat(-1,0; 0,1) mat(0,-1; 1,0) \ &#[using _column by coordinate_ rule] \ &= mat((0 vec(-1, 0) + 1 vec(0, 1)), (-1 vec(-1, 0) + 0 vec(0, -1))) \ &= mat(0, 1; 1, 0) $ ] #pagebreak() Q7. #enum( numbering: "7.1", [ The matrix $A$ corresponds to a linear transformation $T: RR^4 |-> RR^3$. $A$ has 3 rows and 4 columns, so its matrix-vector multiplication is only defined when with vectors in $RR^4$. Accordingly, it will output a vector in $RR^3$. So, $p = 4$. ], [ See above explanation. $q = 3$. ], [ To find all vectors $arrow(x) in RR^4$ whose image under $T$ is $arrow(b)$, we seek all solutions $arrow(x) = (x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5)^T$ to the equation $ T arrow(x) = arrow(b) $ We can do this using our usual row reduction methods. $ mat(augment: #(-1), -2,3,7,-11,-3;1,0,-2,1,3; 1,-1,-3,4,2) \ mat(augment: #(-1), 1,-1,-3,4,2; 0, 1, 1, -3, 1; 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) $ We now have the augmented matrix in echelon form. So, $x_4$ and $x_3$ are free. Then, let $s,t in RR$ be free variables $ x_1 &= 3 - t + 2s \ x_2 &= 1 + 3t - s \ x_3 &= s \ x_4 &= t $ So, all vectors $arrow(x)$ are of the form $ arrow(x) = vec(3+2s - t, 1 - s + 3t, s, t) $ ], )
