  1. The rectangle \(R _ { 1 }\) is mapped onto a second rectangle, \(R _ { 2 }\), by a transformation with matrix \(\left[ \begin{array} { l l } 3 & 0
    0 & 2 \end{array} \right]\).
    1. Calculate the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle \(R _ { 2 }\).
    2. On Figure 1, draw the rectangle \(R _ { 2 }\).
  2. The rectangle \(R _ { 2 }\) is rotated through \(90 ^ { \circ }\) clockwise about the origin to give a third rectangle, \(R _ { 3 }\).
    1. On Figure 1, draw the rectangle \(R _ { 3 }\).
    2. Write down the matrix of the rotation which maps \(R _ { 2 }\) onto \(R _ { 3 }\).
  3. Find the matrix of the transformation which maps \(R _ { 1 }\) onto \(R _ { 3 }\).
