Consider a matrix Aof the form A=[abb−a] , where a2+b2=1. Find two nonzero perpendicular vectorsυ→andlocalid="1664256213921" w→such thatAυ→=υ→and Aw→=−w→(write the entries of υ→and w→in terms of aand b). Conclude that localid="1664256257917" T(x→)=A(x→)represents the reflection about the line Lspanned byυ→.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The nonzero vectors are, υ=b1−aandrole="math" localid="1664256661891" w=−b1+a.

As T(x→)=refL(υ→), hence it is proved that, T(x→)=A(x→)represents the reflection about the line L spanned byυ→.

Step by step solution

01

Compute the nonzero vector

The equationAυ→=υ→, implies(A−I)υ→=0, so, the homogeneous equations are,

(a−1)υ1+bυ2=0bυ1−(a+1)υ2=0

The values of the components for b≠0will be,

υ1=b1−aυ2,υ1=a+1bυ2

Consider only one value for the vector, so, role="math" localid="1664256441809" υ=b1−a

02

Compute the nonzero vector

The equationAw→=−w→, implies(A+I)w→=0, so, the homogeneous equations are,

(a+1)w1+bw2=0bw1−(a−1)w2=0

The values of the components for b≠0will be,

w1=−b1+aw2,w1=a−1bw2

Consider only one value for the vector, so, w=−b1+a.

03

Compute the reflection

The vector x→is a composition of x∥andx⊥.

That is,x→=x∥+x⊥

Where,x∥=mυ→,x⊥=mw→

Consider the system.

T(x→)=A(x→)⇒T(x→)=A(x∥+x⊥)⇒T(x→)=A(mυ→+nw→)⇒T(x→)=m(Aυ→)+n(Aw→)

Here,Aυ→=υ→,Aw→=−w→

Thus, the reflection is,

T(x→)=m(υ→)+n(−w→)⇒T(x→)=mυ→−nw→⇒T(x→)=x∥−x⊥∴T(x→)=refL(υ→)

Hence, the nonzero vectors are, υ=b1−aandw=−b1+a.

As T(x→)=refL(υ→), hence it is proved that, T(x→)=A(x→) represents the reflection about the line L spanned byυ→.
