TopicLinear transformations
TypeCombined transformation matrix product
DifficultyModerate -0.5 This is a straightforward FP1 question on matrix transformations requiring students to: (i) read a transformation matrix from a diagram, (ii) recall the standard reflection matrix, and (iii) multiply two 2×2 matrices. All three parts are routine applications of basic further maths content with no problem-solving or novel insight required, making it slightly easier than average.

  1. Write down the matrix \(\mathbf { T }\) representing this transformation. The quadrilateral \(\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime }\) is reflected in the \(x\)-axis to give a new quadrilateral, \(\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime \prime }\).
  2. Write down the matrix representing reflection in the \(x\)-axis.
  3. Find the single matrix that will transform OABC onto \(\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime \prime }\).

(i) Write down the matrix $\mathbf { T }$ representing this transformation.

The quadrilateral $\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime }$ is reflected in the $x$-axis to give a new quadrilateral, $\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime \prime }$.\\
(ii) Write down the matrix representing reflection in the $x$-axis.\\
(iii) Find the single matrix that will transform OABC onto $\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime \prime }$.
