Write the rule for the composition transformation  (4 points)

In mathematics, specifically in the context of transformations in geometry, the composition transformation refers to the application of two or more transformations in sequence to an object. The general rule for a composition transformation can be expressed as follows:

  1. Identify the Transformations: First, determine what transformations you are going to apply. Common transformations include translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.

  2. Order of Transformations: The order in which you apply the transformations matters. If you perform transformation A followed by transformation B, the notation would be \( B(A(\text{Point})) \).

  3. Mathematical Representation: If \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) are two transformations, the composition of these transformations is denoted as \( T_2 \circ T_1 \). This means you first apply \( T_1 \) and then apply \( T_2 \) to the result of \( T_1 \).

  4. Example: If you have a point \( P(x, y) \):

    • If \( T_1 \) is a translation by \( (a, b) \): \( T_1(P) = (x + a, y + b) \)
    • If \( T_2 \) is a rotation by an angle \( \theta \): Apply this transformation to the result of \( T_1 \).

In conclusion, the rule of composition transformation combines multiple transformations into a single transformation, where the result depends on the sequence in which you apply each transformation.

(x - ?, y - ?)

It seems you're looking for a specific structure related to a transformation in geometry, likely involving a translation. The form \((x - ?, y - ?)\) typically represents a translation transformation.

If you want to express a translation of a point \((x, y)\) by a vector \((a, b)\), the general rule would look like this:

\[ (x - a, y - b) \]

Here, \(a\) represents the horizontal shift (how much to move left or right), and \(b\) represents the vertical shift (how much to move up or down).

  • If you move to the right, \(a\) is positive.
  • If you move to the left, \(a\) is negative.
  • If you move up, \(b\) is positive.
  • If you move down, \(b\) is negative.

So, to fill in the blanks you provided:

  • \( ? = a \) (if we are moving along the x-axis)
  • \( ? = b \) (if we are moving along the y-axis)

The complete transformation would then be expressed as:

\[ (x - a, y - b) \]

If you have specific values for the translation, you can replace \(a\) and \(b\) with those values.
