I was working through a question page on matrix invariance, however an answer I got did not match the answer in the book. The question was as follows:
"R is a reflection through the line y=2x. S is a 90o rotation anticlockwise about the origin. T is a stretch, scale factor 3, parallel to the y-axis."
From this, I gathered that in matrix forms: R = [−0.60.80.80.6], S = [01−10] and T = [1003].
The question continues: "In each case, find any lines of invariant points and any other invariant lines through the origin."
The case I did not match the answer for was: S−1RS.
(I worked out that S−1=[0−110] and that S−1RS=[0.6−0.8−0.8−0.6].)
The working is very lengthy, so I won't post it yet. If it is required, I will, but I don't think it will be. I just want to compare answers with someone else.
I got as my answers:
Line of invariant points is y=−0.5x
Invariant line is y=2x
But the answer in the book simply states 'None'. Have I made a mistake somewhere in my working? (If so, I'll type all my working up or post a picture.) Or is the answer in the book wrong?
Huge thanks in advance.
