Which rule describes a composition of transformations that maps pre-image PQRS to image [tex]P' Q' R' S'[/tex]?

A. [tex]R_{0, 270^\circ} \circ T_{-2, \theta}(x, y)[/tex]
B. [tex]T_{-2, 0} \circ R_{0, 220^\circ}(x, y)[/tex]
C. [tex]R_{0, 270^\circ} \circ r_{y-2 \text{axis}}(x, y)[/tex]
D. [tex]r_{y-2 \text{axis}} \circ R_{0, 220^\circ}(x, y)[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which rule describes the composition of transformations that maps the pre-image PQRS to the image [tex]\( P'Q'R'S' \)[/tex], we need to analyze the given options.

The correct transformation sequence that accomplishes this mapping is the third one:

[tex]\[ R_{0,270}^{\circ} \circ r_{y-2 \text{ais}}(x, y) \][/tex]

This sequence involves two transformations:

1. Rotation [tex]\( R_{0,270^{\circ}} \)[/tex]: This specifies a rotation about the origin (0,0) by 270 degrees counterclockwise. This changes the orientation of the shape.

2. Reflection [tex]\( r_{y-2 \text{ais}}(x, y) \)[/tex]: This specifies a reflection across a specific line or axis. Here "y-2 ais" appears to be reflecting over the y-axis with some horizontal translation involved.

In the context of the steps, the pre-image PQRS undergoes the following transformations:

1. Rotation by 270 degrees around the origin: This transformation will realign the points of PQRS to a new orientation.
2. Reflection: This takes the already rotated shape and reflects it across the specified line.

Hence, only one of the options fits these criteria:

[tex]\[ R_{0,270}^{\circ} \circ r_{y-2 \text{ais}}(x, y) \][/tex]

So, the correct rule for the composition of transformations that maps the pre-image PQRS to the image [tex]\( P'Q'R'S' \)[/tex] is described by the third option:

[tex]\[ \boxed{3} \][/tex]
