One of the five given matrices represents an orthogonal projection onto a line and another represents a reflection about a line. Identify both and briefly justify your choice.
When you represent a three 鈥揹imensional object graphically in the plane (on paper, the blackboard, or a computer screen), you have to transform spatial coordinates,
,
Into plane coordinates, . The simplest choice is a linear transformation, for example, the one given by the matrix
(a.) Use this transformation to represent the unit cube with corner points
Include the images of the axes in your sketch:

(b) Represent the image of the point in your figure in part (a)
(c.) Find all the points in that are transformed to . Explain.
The trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal entries. What can you say about the trace of a localid="1664169930199" matrixthat represents localid="1664169941875" .
a. orthogonal projection b. reflection about a line
c. rotation d. (horizontal or vertical) shear.
In three cases, give the exact value of the trace, and in one case, give an interval of possible values.
Is the product of two lower triangular matrices a lower triangular matrix as well? Explain your answer.
Use the given partitions to compute the products in Exercises 15 and 16. Check your work by computing the same products without using a partition. Show all your work.
