How do you verify that two matrices are inverses of each other?

Multiply the two matrices together. 2. If the result is the identity matrix, then they are inverses.

Explain how unit vectors are used to construct transformation matrices.

The transformed images of the standard basis vectors (unit vectors) become the columns of the transformation matrix.

What does the determinant of a transformation matrix tell you?

The absolute value of the determinant indicates the scaling factor of the area under the transformation. The sign indicates orientation (reflection).

Explain the concept of composing two linear transformations.

It involves applying one transformation after another. The matrix of the composition is the product of the individual transformation matrices.

What does it mean for a transformation to have an inverse?

It means there exists another transformation that 'undoes' the original transformation, mapping the output back to the original input.

Why is the order of matrix multiplication important in compositions?

Matrix multiplication is not commutative; therefore, the order in which transformations are applied matters. AB is not necessarily equal to BA.

Explain the geometric meaning of a negative determinant.

A negative determinant indicates that the transformation includes a reflection (flip) in addition to any possible dilation.

How do you find the matrix that represents a reflection over the y-axis?

The matrix is $\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ because it maps (1,0) to (-1,0) and (0,1) to (0,1).

How does the determinant relate to the area of a shape after a linear transformation?

The absolute value of the determinant gives the factor by which the area of any shape is scaled after the transformation.

Explain why not all matrices have an inverse.

A matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is non-zero. A zero determinant indicates that the transformation collapses space, making it impossible to 'undo'.

Describe the relationship between a matrix and its inverse.

The inverse of a matrix, when multiplied by the original matrix, results in the identity matrix. This represents 'undoing' the transformation.
