5 Matrices \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) are given by \(\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\mathbf{B} = \begin{pmatrix} \dfrac{5}{13} & -\dfrac{12}{13} \\[6pt] \dfrac{12}{13} & \dfrac{5}{13} \end{pmatrix}\).

(a) Use \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) to disprove the proposition: “Matrix multiplication is commutative”. [2]

Matrix \(\mathbf{B}\) represents the transformation \(\mathrm{T_B}\).

(b) Describe the transformation \(\mathrm{T_B}\). [2]
(c) By considering the inverse transformation of \(\mathrm{T_B}\), determine \(\mathbf{B}^{-1}\). [2]

Matrix \(\mathbf{C}\) is given by \(\mathbf{C} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -3 \end{pmatrix}\) and represents the transformation \(\mathrm{T_C}\).

The transformation \(\mathrm{T_{BC}}\) is transformation \(\mathrm{T_C}\) followed by transformation \(\mathrm{T_B}\).

An object shape of area 5 is transformed by \(\mathrm{T_{BC}}\) to an image shape \(N\).

(d) Determine the area of \(N\). [2]
