5.1.4 Affine transformations
Problem:
The improper motion is given by
\[
X^{\prime}=\frac{1}{3}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 2 & -1 \\
2 & -1 & 2 \\
-1 & 2 & 2
\end{array}\right) X+\left(\begin{array}{l}
4 \\
0 \\
2
\end{array}\right)
\]
It is a composition of symmetry with respect to the plane \( 2 x_{1}-4 x_{2}+a x_{3}=6 \) and parallel translation, moreover \( a=\cdots \).
