Given a triangle with vertices at A(1,3), B(4,7) and C(6,2) it undergoes two successive translation first by vector V1 = (2/3) and second by vector V2 = (-4/-1). Find the final coordinate of the triangle and explain how the composition of these translation affect the overall position movement.

A'(-1, 12), B'(2, 16), C'(4, 11)

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the resultant translation vector.

    To find the overall translation, we add the two translation vectors V1V_1 and V2V_2.

    Vtotal=V1+V2=(23)+(−46)V_{total} = V_1 + V_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} Vtotal=(2+(−4)3+6)=(−29)V_{total} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 + (-4) \\ 3 + 6 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 9 \end{pmatrix}
  2. Apply the resultant translation vector to each vertex of the triangle.

    For a point (x,y)(x, y) and a translation vector (ab)\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}, the new point is (x+a,y+b)(x+a, y+b).

    For vertex A(1, 3):

    A′=(1+(−2),3+9)=(1−2,3+9)=(−1,12)A' = (1 + (-2), 3 + 9) = (1 - 2, 3 + 9) = (-1, 12)

    For vertex B(4, 7):

    B′=(4+(−2),7+9)=(4−2,7+9)=(2,16)B' = (4 + (-2), 7 + 9) = (4 - 2, 7 + 9) = (2, 16)

    For vertex C(6, 2):

    C′=(6+(−2),2+9)=(6−2,2+9)=(4,11)C' = (6 + (-2), 2 + 9) = (6 - 2, 2 + 9) = (4, 11)

    The final coordinates of the triangle are A′(−1,12),B′(2,16),C′(4,11)\boxed{A'(-1, 12), B'(2, 16), C'(4, 11)}.

  3. Explain how the composition of these translations affects the overall movement.

    The composition of two successive translations is equivalent to a single translation by the sum of the individual translation vectors. In this case, the triangle undergoes an overall translation by the vector (−29)\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 9 \end{pmatrix}. This means the entire triangle moves 2 units to the left and 9 units upwards from its original position.
