6. Write down the \(2 \times 2\) matrix that represents

(a) an enlargement with centre \((0,\ 0)\) and scale factor 8, (1)
(b) a reflection in the \(x\)-axis. (1)

Hence, or otherwise,

(c) find the matrix \(\mathbf{T}\) that represents an enlargement with centre \((0,\ 0)\) and scale factor 8, followed by a reflection in the \(x\)-axis. (2)
\[\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \text{ and } \mathbf{B} = \begin{pmatrix} k & 1 \\ c & -6 \end{pmatrix}, \text{ where } k \text{ and } c \text{ are constants.}\]
(d) Find \(\mathbf{AB}\). (3)

Given that \(\mathbf{AB}\) represents the same transformation as \(\mathbf{T}\),

(e) find the value of \(k\) and the value of \(c\). (2)
