A linear transformation \(T\) is applied to the point \(P(3, 2)\), where \(T\) is a dilation of factor 4 parallel to the \(x\)-axis and factor 2 parallel to the \(y\)-axis, followed by a rotation of \(60^\circ\) anticlockwise about the origin. a) Determine the \(2 \times 2\) matrix that represents the dilation transformation. b) Determine the \(2 \times 2\) matrix that represents the combined transformation \(T\). c) Use your result from part b) to determine the coordinates of the image point \(P'\) after the transformation \(T\) is applied to \(P\).
