Topic3x3 Matrices

3 You are given the matrix \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 1 & 0 & 0
0 & 0 & 1
0 & - 1 & 0 \end{array} \right)\).
  1. Find \(\mathbf { A } ^ { 4 }\).
  2. Describe the transformation that \(\mathbf { A }\) represents. The matrix \(\mathbf { B }\) represents a reflection in the plane \(x = 0\).
  3. Write down the matrix \(\mathbf { B }\). The point \(P\) has coordinates (2, 3, 4). The point \(P ^ { \prime }\) is the image of \(P\) under the transformation represented by \(\mathbf { B }\).
  4. Find the coordinates of \(P ^ { \prime }\).
