Question

Determine which of the following linear functions $L: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ has an inverse, and, if so, describe it: (a) the scaling transformation that doubles the length of each vector; (b) clockwise rotation by $45^{\circ}$; (c) reflection through the $y$-axis; (d) orthogonal projection onto the line $y=x$; (e) the shearing transformation defined by the matrix $\left(\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right)$.

Instant Answer

Step 1

** A linear transformation $ L: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 $ is invertible if and only if it is bijective (one-to-one and onto). In terms of matrices, $ L $ represented by matrix $ A $ is invertible if and only if $ A $ has a non-zero Show more…
