7. The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is defined by $$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } 4 & - 5 \\ - 3 & 2 \end{array} \right)$$ The transformation represented by \(\mathbf { A }\) maps triangle \(T\) onto triangle \(T ^ { \prime }\) Given that the area of triangle \(T\) is \(23 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\)
  1. determine the area of triangle \(T ^ { \prime }\) (2) The point \(P\) has coordinates ( \(3 p + 2,2 p - 1\) ) where \(p\) is a constant. The transformation represented by \(\mathbf { A }\) maps \(P\) onto the point \(P ^ { \prime }\) with coordinates \(( 17 , - 18 )\)
  2. Determine the value of \(p\). Given that $$\mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } 0 & 1 \\ - 1 & 0 \end{array} \right)$$
  3. describe fully the single geometrical transformation represented by matrix \(\mathbf { B }\) The transformation represented by matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) followed by the transformation represented by matrix \(\mathbf { C }\) is equivalent to the transformation represented by matrix \(\mathbf { B }\)

6 The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is given by \(\left( \begin{array} { l l } 1 & 2 \\ 1 & a \end{array} \right)\) and the matrix \(\mathbf { B }\) is given by \(\left( \begin{array} { c c } 2 & 1 \\ - 1 & b \end{array} \right)\).
  1. Find the matrix \(\mathbf { A B }\).
  2. State the conditions on \(a\) and \(b\) for \(\mathbf { A B }\) to be a singular matrix. \(P Q R S\) is a quadrilateral and the vertices \(P , Q , R\) and \(S\) are in clockwise order. A transformation, T , is represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { A B }\).
