Homework Statement
Find the standard matrix of T
[tex]T: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2 [/tex] first reflects points through the horizontal x1 axis and then reflects points through the line x2 = x1
The Attempt at a Solution
I almost always have to look at my book to remind myself what the standard matrix transformation for each transformation is
So I did
e1 becomes (which I will use [tex]\to[/tex]) [tex]\to[/tex] e1 (which doesn't change [tex]\to[/tex] e2
That's column one. Also I am using David Lay's book, so I don't know words like "nullspace", "basis", etc...
[tex]e_2 \to -e_2 \to -(e_1)[/tex]
Then I get
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}
0 & -1\\
1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Now my question is, am I right about the [tex]-(e_1)[/tex]? I added brackets on purpose
