4. To rotate a figure about a point (-2,3) we can first translate to the origin, then rotate there, and finally translate back again. This is expressed as:
   a) (Trans_by (2,-3)).(Rot).(Trans_by (-2,3)). Object
   b) (Trans_by (-2,3)).(Rot).(Trans_by (2,-3)). Object
   c) both of the above
   d) neither of the above
   
   
   
   
5. Which of the following are true about linear transformations?
   a) points go in as column vectors, and the first column of the transformation represents the output of the unit x-axis

   c) they compose from right to left, like functions
   d) more than one of a, b and c, but not all of them
   e) all of a, b and c

7. To keep a car on a curved race track, we can perform the appropriate matrix operations in the following order:
   a) (Rotate).(Translate_to_curve).car
   b) (Translate_to_curve).(Rotate).car
   c) Either a) or b) works
   d) Neither a) nor b) works
   
   
   
   
8. To turn a car so that it points in the direction of motion, we
   a) define a unit vector in the direction of the velocity (tangent) of the curve by dividing by its norm so it won't change the size of the car
   b) create an orthogonal vector to pair with it in a rotation matrix by creating a vector on a line with negative reciprocal slope (swap x and y and introduce a negative sign)
   c) both of the above
