The normal modes of this system are products of trigonometric functions. (For linear systems, the time dependance of a normal mode is always sinusoidal, but the spatial dependence need not be.) Specifically, for this system a normal mode is described by

Triangle xyz, with vertices x(-2, 0), y(-2, -1), and z(-5, -2), undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, -2), y? (4, -3), and z? (1, -4). the type of transformation that triangle xyz undergoes is a . triangle x? y? z? then undergoes a transformation to form triangle x? y? z? , with vertices x? (4, 2), y? (4, 3), and z? (1, 4). the type of transformation that triangle x? y? z? undergoes is a .
