Question
Problem 11E
A linear transformation T : ℝ2 → ℝ2 first reflects points through the x1-axis and then reflects points through the x2- axis. Show that T can also be described as a linear transformation that rotates points about the origin. What is the angle of that rotation?
Solution
The first step in solving 1.9 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 11EA linear transformation T : ℝ2 → ℝ2 first reflects points through the x1-axis and then reflects points through the x2- axis. Show that T can also be described as a linear transformation that rotates points about the origin. What is the angle of that rotation?
From the textbook chapter The Matrix of a Linear Transformation you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
