Question

1) Prove that in a homogeneous motion, i.e. $y(x) = A(t)x + c(t)$ for $R_0$, straight lines are mapped to straight lines, and planes to planes. (another name of such a mapping is "affine transformation"). Hint: begin by writing a vector equation that defines a position vector $x$ of a point in $R_0$ on an arbitrary straight line or plane, and see where it is mapped to.

Step 1

Let's denote this equation as x = p + td, where p is a point on the line or plane, d is a direction vector of the line or plane, and t is a scalar parameter. 2) Now, let's apply the homogeneous motion transformation y(x) = A(t)x + c(t) to the vector equation x = Show more…
