  1. The transformation \(T _ { 1 }\) is defined by the matrix $$\left[ \begin{array} { l l } 0 & 1
    1 & 0 \end{array} \right]$$ Describe this transformation geometrically.
  2. The transformation \(T _ { 2 }\) is an anticlockwise rotation about the origin through an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\). Find the matrix of the transformation \(T _ { 2 }\). Use surds in your answer where appropriate.
    (3 marks)
  3. Find the matrix of the transformation obtained by carrying out \(T _ { 1 }\) followed by \(T _ { 2 }\).
