  3. Show that \(\mathbf { E } = \left( \begin{array} { c c } - 3 & 3 \\ 3 & 3 \end{array} \right)\). The triangle \(O R S\) has vertices at the points with coordinates \(( 0,0 ) , ( - 15,15 )\) and \(( 4,21 )\). This triangle is transformed onto the triangle \(O R ^ { \prime } S ^ { \prime }\) by the transformation described by \(\mathbf { E }\).
  4. Find the coordinates of the vertices of triangle \(O R ^ { \prime } S ^ { \prime }\).
  5. Find the area of triangle \(O R ^ { \prime } S ^ { \prime }\) and deduce the area of triangle \(O R S\).

9. $$\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { c c } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } & - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } \\ \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } & \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } \end{array} \right)$$
  1. Describe fully the geometrical transformation represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { M }\). The transformation represented by \(\mathbf { M }\) maps the point \(A\) with coordinates \(( p , q )\) onto the point \(B\) with coordinates \(( 3 \sqrt { } 2,4 \sqrt { } 2 )\).
  2. Find the value of \(p\) and the value of \(q\).
  3. Find, in its simplest surd form, the length \(O A\), where \(O\) is the origin.
  4. Find \(\mathbf { M } ^ { 2 }\). The point \(B\) is mapped onto the point \(C\) by the transformation represented by \(\mathbf { M } ^ { 2 }\).
  5. Find the coordinates of \(C\).
