Six reflections are performed in succession. The order is that of the axes as given here:
First: y = x +1
Second: y = x + 3
Third: x = 0
Fourth: x = 5
Fifth: y = x - 4
Sixth: y = x - 6
The first two give the translation T1 with vector < -2, 2 >.
The third and fourth give the translation T2 with vector < 10, 0 >.
The fifth and sixth give the translation T3 with vector < 2, - 2 >.
Since translations commute with each other the product T3T2T1 is the same as T3T1T2 , but
this is just T2 since T1 and T3 are inverses of each other. The net result is T2.

Solution:
(a)
One answer: The equations fit the form (iii) of Property XV in the reference,
with a = 90, h = 4, k = 10 , so T is an opposite isometry.
Second answer: Let P = (r, s) and Q = (u, v) be distinct arbitrary points.
Then P = (s + 4, r -10) and Q = (v + 4, u -10). The distance
(b)
Solving for fixed points we get x = y + 4 and y = x -10 . These equations give
x = x - 6, so there are no solutions and thus no fixed points and T is neither a
rotation nor a reflection.
Since the equations are not of the form for a translation, T must be a
glide-reflection.
Choose two points, such as P(0, 0) and Q(10,-4). Then P = (4,-10) and
Q = (0, 0). The midpoints M (2,-5) of PP and N(5,-2) of QQ lie on the
axis of the reflection part and the equation of this line is y = x - 7.
The glide-vector is MM = < -1- 2, - 8 - (-5) > = < -3,-3 > .
(Or use NN = < 2 - 5, - 5 - (-2) > = < -3,-3 > .)
Note that the glide-vector is parallel to the reflections axis, as it should be.

1.
A reflection has the property that if it is composed with itself, the resulting isometry is the
identity. Are there any other isometries that have this property?
Solution: The identity, of course, but also a half-turn (180 degree rotation). No others.
2.
3.
Reflections are sometimes called the building blocks of the isometries, much like the relation
between the prime numbers and the set of integers. Explain this description.
Solution: Every isometry is either a reflection or the composite of two or three reflections,
so the reflections are, in some sense, primary.
