Study Notes

Compositions of Transformations

  • Compositions involve performing multiple transformations in sequence on a geometric figure.
  • Example: A triangle can first be reflected over the x-axis, then translated right 6 units and up 2 units.

Basic Transformations

  • Reflection: Creates a mirror image across a specified line.
  • Rotation: Moves a shape around a fixed point (often the origin).
  • Translation: Shifts all points of a shape according to specified directions (changes in x and y coordinates).

Rigid vs. Non-Rigid Transformations

  • Rigid Transformations: Preserve size and shape (e.g., rotations, reflections).
  • Non-Rigid Transformations: Do not preserve size and shape (e.g., dilations).

Transformation Rules

  • Reflect over the x-axis: (x,y) → (x, -y)
  • Translate horizontally and vertically: applied sequentially, e.g., first (x,y) → (x+10,y) then apply another transformation.
  • Composite transformation example: First (x,y) → (x+1,y-3) then apply reflection as (-x,y) resulting in the final position.

Specific Transformation Rules

  • To reflect over the y-axis: (x,y) → (-x, y)
  • To reflect over the line y=x: (x,y) → (y,x)
  • To reflect over the line y=-x: (x,y) → (-y,-x)
  • To rotate 90° clockwise about the origin: (x,y) → (y, -x)
  • To rotate 180° clockwise about the origin: (x,y) → (-x,-y)
  • To rotate 90° counter-clockwise about the origin: (x,y) → (-y,x)
  • Reflection over Parallel Lines Theorem: Composing two reflections over parallel lines, h units apart, equals a translation of 2h units.
  • Reflection over the Axes Theorem: Two reflections over both axes result in a 180° rotation about the origin.
  • Reflection over Intersecting Lines Theorem: Two reflections over intersecting lines yield a rotation of 2x, centered at the point of intersection.

Glide Reflection

  • A glide reflection consists of a reflection followed by a translation, where the translation aligns with the direction of the reflection line.

Notation

  • Primes (e.g., A') denote the image of a point after a transformation.
