AI Thread Summary
The matrices presented are related through their structure, with non-zero entries positioned in a consistent anti-diagonal pattern. They can be described as anti-diagonal matrices, which are characterized by having non-zero elements only on the anti-diagonal. Additionally, the matrices can be expressed as linear combinations of vectors, with the first matrix representing a simple reflection. The other matrices exhibit similar properties but include scaling transformations in the x and y directions. This relationship is useful for the mathematical proof being developed.

Homework Statement


I have the following matrices
0 1
1 0

0 2
3 0

0 8
7 0
As you can see, the only thing that changes in the matrices are their non-zero entries. How can you relate those matrices by using a simple word or definition?. I need it for a mathematical proof that I am doing.

Have you tried looking at how you'd write them as a linear combination of the vectors? You can relate all three by weighting the vectors..
 
The first one is a simple reflection. The others idem but 'followed' by a stretch in x and y directions
