How Do We Identify Composition of Transformations?

Sometimes, a math question may ask that you create a composition of transformations. But what exactly is that? A Composition of Transformations is when two or more transformations are combined to form a new transfromation.

Example:

• Rotate the figure 90 degrees clockwise and then reflect the rotated figure over the x-axis
• Translate the figure 5 units up and 4 untits to the right. Now dialate the new figure with a scale factor of 2.

Those two examples are examples of a composition of transformations.
