In Exercises $1-10$ , assume that $T$ is a linear transformation. Find the standard matrix of $T$ .
$T : \mathbb{R}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2}$ first reflects points through the vertical $x_{2}$ -axis and then rotates points $\pi / 2$ radians.

Key Concepts

Linear Transformation

A linear transformation is a function between vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication. This property allows such transformations to be completely characterized by their effects on a set of basis vectors, making them amenable to representation by matrices.

Standard Matrix Representation

The standard matrix representation of a linear transformation is a matrix constructed by applying the transformation to the standard basis vectors and using the resulting vectors as the columns of the matrix. This method provides a systematic way to represent and compute the results of linear transformations in coordinate form.

Reflection Transformation

A reflection transformation alters vectors by 'flipping' them across a specified axis or plane. When reflecting through a vertical axis, the transformation typically negates the horizontal component while leaving the vertical component unchanged, and this behavior can be encoded in a reflection matrix.

Rotation Transformation

A rotation transformation rotates vectors by a fixed angle about the origin. In the case of rotating by ?/2 radians (or 90 degrees), the rotation matrix is constructed to reposition the components of the vector according to the rotation, preserving lengths and angles, which is a key property of rotational transformations.

Composition of Linear Transformations

The composition of linear transformations involves applying one transformation after another, and the result is itself a linear transformation. In matrix terms, this composition is achieved by multiplying the individual matrices in the order corresponding to the sequence of transformations. This method allows complex transformations to be built and analyzed from simpler components.
