原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
The transformations are a rotation followed by a shear. More precisely, the rotation is anticlockwise through θ about the origin; the shear fixes the x-axis and maps (0,1) to (2,1).

不变点要求两个坐标都保持不变。利用第二坐标方程消去y,得到θ的条件,并回代确认确有整条不变点直线。

Write c=cosθ and s=sinθ. Multiplying the matrices,
M=(c+2ss2c−sc).
A fixed point (x,y) satisfies
(c+2s)x+(2c−s)y=sx+cy=x,y.
Since 0<θ<2π, c=1. The second equation gives y=sx/(1−c). A line of fixed points contains a non-zero point; here x cannot be zero, since that would also give y=0.
Substitution and division by x give
(c+2s)(1−c)+(2c−s)s=1−c.
Expanding and using c2+s2=1,
c−c2+2s−s2=c−1+2s=s+c=1−c,1−c,1.
Thus 2sin(θ+π/4)=1. In 0<θ<2π, the only solution is θ=π/2; the alternatives 0 and 2π are excluded.
At θ=π/2, M=(21−10), and every point on y=x is fixed, confirming the required line exists.

也可把不变点条件写成齐次方程组,用系数行列式为零找到非零解存在的条件。

A line of fixed points requires non-zero solutions of (M−I)v=0. Thus the coefficient determinant must vanish:
