Practice question · Match the pairs
Match each statement to its equivalent.
- The transformation flips orientation
- Areas are scaled by a factor of 6
- exists
- Rows are linearly dependent
Hints
- The same number can be read algebraically or geometrically.
- Vanishing corresponds to a collapse of area.
Show the answer
- → exists
- → Rows are linearly dependent
- → Areas are scaled by a factor of 6
- → The transformation flips orientation
Why
One number, four readings: invertibility, dependence, area scaling, and orientation.
