Unit Activity: Introduction to Geometry and Transformations

Question

In the same way that other functions can be combined, a series of transformations can be combined into a single function. For example, this statement for the function S shows one way to represent the rotation of a point 270° counterclockwise about the origin followed by a translation 3 units to the left and 1 unit up S(270, O)/<-3,1>(x, y) = (y – 3, -x + 1).

Write a function to represent each series of transformations:

1. rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, point O, then a reflection across the x-axis
2. reflection across the y-axis, then translation units to the right and b units up
3. translation of a unit to the right and b units up, then a rotation of 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, then a reflection across the y-axis
