2.2 Day 2 Reflections and Rotations combined with Scaling
The concept of transformations inspired art by M.C. Escher
Reflections
Consider a line L through the origin. We saw yesterday that and vector in R2 can be written as the sum of components perpendicular and parallel that line
If we consider the parallel component minus two times the perpendicular component, The result if a resultant vector that is the a reflection of the original vector over line L
You will need this formula in your notes
Reflections over a vector (line)
The matrix of transformation is given by the formula:
Where
Please note that this matrix has the following form:
Note u1 and u2 are components of a unit vector pointing in the direction of line of reflection. (will prove as next problem)
Note: this only works for vectors in R2 while other formula works for in Rn
For reflections in 3 D space Reflecting a Vector over a plane
Formula for reflection over a plane:
Note: u is a unit vector perpendicular (normal) to the plane
Add this formula to your notes
Recall: Rotations
Note: We proved this in 2.1
The matrix of counterclockwise rotation in real 2 dimensional space through angle theta is
Note this is a matrix of the form
The matrix below represents a rotation. Find the angle of rotation
(in radians)
Answer: invcos(3/5)Or invsin (4/5)
Use the formula:
Rotations combined with Scaling
This is the same as the proof we did in 2.1 but now we don’t requirea2 + b2 = 1
Why does removing this requirement result in a rotation plus a scaling?
What matrices should we have in our library of basic matrices?

How do you identify an unknown matrix?
1) Check your library of basic matrices.
2) Use your knowledge of matrix multiplication.
3) Plug in values. To be efficient use the elementary matrices.
