TopicLinear transformations
TypeFind image coordinates under transformation
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part question on matrix transformations requiring routine application of matrix multiplication to find image coordinates, recognition of a standard scaling transformation, finding a composite inverse transformation, and using the determinant to find area scaling. All parts are standard FP1 techniques with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average.

9 The triangle ABC has vertices at \(\mathrm { A } ( 0,0 ) , \mathrm { B } ( 0,2 )\) and \(\mathrm { C } ( 4,1 )\). The matrix \(\left( \begin{array} { r r } 1 & - 2 \\ 3 & 0 \end{array} \right)\) represents a transformation T .
  1. The transformation \(T\) maps triangle \(A B C\) onto triangle \(A ^ { \prime } B ^ { \prime } C ^ { \prime }\). Find the coordinates of \(A ^ { \prime } , B ^ { \prime }\) and \(C ^ { \prime }\). Triangle \(A ^ { \prime } B ^ { \prime } C ^ { \prime }\) is now mapped onto triangle \(A ^ { \prime \prime } B ^ { \prime \prime } C ^ { \prime \prime }\) using the matrix \(\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \end{array} \right)\).
  2. Describe fully the transformation represented by \(\mathbf { M }\).
  3. Triangle \(\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime \prime } \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime \prime }\) is now mapped back onto ABC by a single transformation. Find the matrix representing this transformation.
  4. Calculate the area of \(A ^ { \prime \prime } B ^ { \prime \prime } C ^ { \prime \prime }\).
