Calculate this reflection of the triangle:

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

a = 3, b = 0, c = 0, d = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find the reflection Multiply the matrices</em>

∵ The dimension of the first matrix is 2 × 2

∵ The dimension of the second matrix is 2 × 3

<em>1. Multiply the first row of the 1st matrix by each column in the second matrix add the products of each column to get the first row in the 3rd matrix.</em>

2. Multiply the second row of the 1st matrix by each column in the second matrix add the products of each column to get the second row of the 3rd matrix

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right]$ × $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&3&0\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(1*0+0*0)&(1*3+0*0)&(1*0+0*2)\\(0*0+-1*0)&(0*3+-1*0)&(0*0+-1*2)\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&3&0\\0&0&-2\end{array}\right]$
