Transformations — practice question

The matrices are defined by $M = \begin{pmatrix}2 & 1 \\ 4 & 3\end{pmatrix}$, $N = (1\;\;2)$, and $P = \begin{pmatrix}4 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$.
(a(i))[4]

For the calculations below, write a tick (✓) if it can be done, or a cross (\times) if it cannot be done. You do not need to evaluate any of them.

(a(ii))[1]

Calculate $\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 2\end{pmatrix} + P$.

(a(iii))[2]

Calculate $PN$.

(a(iv))[2]

Calculate $M^{-1}$.

(b)[3]

Describe fully the single transformation shown by the matrix $\begin{pmatrix}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{pmatrix}$.
