Reminder: Activity is specifically for usage of Casio fx-991ES PLUS

Activity # 1.Find the image of the triangle ABC under the 80 counterclockwise
rotation about the origin, with A(3,1), B(5,5) and C(6,3).
Solution:
We apply the rotation matrix [


] to the points A(3,1), B(5,5) and C(6,3)
then determine the vertices A (

),B (

) and C (

) of the transformed triangle

under the rotation. We enter the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of A, B, C in the first and
second rows respectively of a matrix. We have
[

We use the calculator to solve the coordinates of the vertices A, B,C.




Select Mode1:COMP MODE 1
Select Degree Mode SHIFT MODE (SETUP) 3
Press Mode. Select 6: Matrix MODE
Access Matrix A 1
Select 2x2 matrix 5
Enter cos 80, -sin 80 cos 8 0 = (-) sin 8 0 =
Enter sin 80, cos 80 sin 8 0 = cos 8 0 =
Access Matrix B SHIFT 4 1 2
Select 2x3 matrix 4
Enter first row 3,5,6 3 = 5 = 6 =
Enter second row 1,5,3 1 = 5 = 3 =
Press AC AC
Enter Mat A SHIFT 4 3
Enter x Mat B x SHIFT 4 4 =

The answer we obtain is the matrix [


]

Thus the vertices of the transformed triangle are A (-0.5, 3.1), B (-4.1, 5.8), C (-1.9, 6.4).
The values have been rounded off.

Activity # 2.Find the image of the triangle ABC under the 90 counterclockwise
rotation about the origin, with A(3,1), B(5,5) and C(6,3).

To get the transformed triangle under a 90 counterclockwise rotation, we follow the same
process. We apply the rotation matrix [


] to the points A(3,1), B(5,5)
and C(6,3)



Press Mode. Select 6: Matrix MODE
Access Matrix A 1
Select 2x2 matrix 5
Enter cos 90, -sin 90 cos 9 0 = (-) sin 9 0 =
Enter sin 90, cos 90 sin 9 0 = cos 9 0 =
Access Matrix B SHIFT 4 1 2
Select 2x3 matrix 4
Enter first row 3 = 5 = 6 =
Enter second row 1 = 5 = 3 =
Press AC AC
Enter Mat A SHIFT 4 3
Enter x Mat B x SHIFT 4 4 =

Using the calculator, we obtain the following result:
