Use identity and zero matrices of order no greater than 3 × 3.
Determinants and inverses of non-singular 2 x 2 matrices Knowledge of singular matrices is not required
Transformations of the plane associated with 2 × 2 matrices Transformations include: Reflections in x = 0, y = 0 and y = ±x Rotations about the origin Enlargements with centre at the origin
