Transformation Matrices Unleashed
Mini-Investigation: Transformation Matrices Unleashed
Objective:
To explore the effects of different transformation matrices on geometric shapes and understand the underlying mathematical principles.
Questions:
1. What happens to the area of the triangle when you apply a transformation matrix with a determinant of 1? Why does this happen?
2. Experiment with various scaling factors. How does scaling impact the coordinates of the triangle's vertices and the area of the triangle?
3. Apply a rotation transformation to the triangle. What is the relationship between the angle of rotation and the positions of the triangle's vertices?
4. Combine a reflection and a rotation in one transformation. Describe the resulting position and orientation of the triangle.
5. Can you create a transformation matrix that reflects the triangle in the x-axis and then stretches it vertically by a factor of 2?
6. Challenge: Construct a transformation matrix that rotates the triangle by 45 degrees and then reflects it in the origin. What properties does this matrix have?
Activity:
Using the applet, design a transformation matrix sequence that would simulate an object bouncing off a wall. For extra creativity, see if the triangle can end up in a specific location after a series of transformations.
