# In Exercises 11 and 12, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.12.a. The essential properties of Bezier curves are preserved under the action of linear transformations, but not translations.b. When two Bezier curves $${\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( t \right)$$ and $$y\left( t \right)$$ are joined at the point where $${\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( 1 \right) = y\left( 0 \right)$$, the combined curve has $${G^0}$$ continuity at that point.c. The Bezier basis matrix is a matrix whose columns are the control points of the curve.

1. The statement is False.
2. The statement is True.
3. The statement is False.
See the step by step solution

## Step 1: Determine whether the given statement is True or False

a)

Bezier curves are useful in computer graphics because their essential properties are preserved under linear transformations and translations.

Thus, the given statement (a) is False.

## Step 2: Determine whether the given statement is True or False

b)

The combined curve is said to have$${G^0}$$ continuity because the two segments join at $${{\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} _2}$$.

Thus, the given statement (b) is True.

## Step 3: Determine whether the given statement is True or False

c)

The $$4 \times 4$$ matrix of polynomial coefficients is the Bezier basis matrix $${M_B}$$.

Thus, the given statement (c) is False.
