TopicLinear transformations
TypeArea scale factor from determinant
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward Further Maths question testing standard matrix transformation concepts: finding area using determinant (routine calculation), solving matrix equations for unknowns (algebraic manipulation), identifying a rotation matrix (recall), and finding a matrix given a composition (inverse matrix calculation). All parts are textbook exercises requiring no novel insight, though being Further Maths places it slightly above average A-level difficulty.
