Exploring and Investigating Rotation Properties

Question 1
The preimage ABCD has been rotated clockwise -90º around the origin, and the image ABCD was created. [br][br]What is the center of rotation for the above rotation? Name the point and state its location. [br][br]
Question 2
Create line segments from the preimage point to the center of rotation and then to the corresponding image. [br][br]Measure the distances of these line segments: AE, A'E, BE, B'E, CE, C'E, DE, and D'E. [br][br]List these distances below and explain what you notice. [br][br]If you change the image and corresponding preimage, does the relationship you found on the original image and preimage stay the same? If yes, create a property that could describe this relationship.
Question 3
Measure the angles created from connecting the preimage points to the center of rotation and corresponding image points, i.e. angles DED', CEC', BEB' and AEA.' What did you find? [br][br]If you change the image and corresponding preimage, does the relationship you found on the original image and preimage stay the same? If yes, explain why this makes sense and create a property to describe the relationship you found.
Question 4
Regarding location, what do the points on the preimage and the corresponding point on the image have in common? [br][br]If you change the image and corresponding preimage, does the relationship you found on the original image and preimage stay the same? If yes, create a property that could describe this relationship.
Question 5
Create a function in two-variables F(x,y)--> ( , ) for the -90º rotation above.
Question 6
Provide the domain and range of the function for the -90º rotation around the origin.
Question 7
Compare the preimage and image by measuring the angles of the image and preimage, and by measuring the side lengths. Tell me what you notice. [br][br]If you change the image and corresponding preimage, does the relationship you found on the original image and preimage stay the same? [br][br]What property can you write to describe this relationship?
Question 8
Using the relationships you found above, rotate preimage ABCD 90° [b]counter[/b]clockwise and construct the image of this rotation in the graph above. (Hint: you can use the angle with a fixed degree tool to help you find your points).[br][br]Below, enter the function that describes this rotation. [br][br]
Question 9
How would the two variable functions change with each -90º clockwise rotation around the origin (i.e., 90º, -180º, and -270º clockwise rotation)?
Question 10
How would the two variable function change with each 90º counterclockwise rotation around the origin (i.e. 90º, 180º and 270º counterclockwise rotation)?
