Every affine transformation factors as
so . A translation fixing zero has zero translation vector, so . Together with normality from part (c), these are the internal semidirect product conditions. Thus
The reconstruction data are the additive group , the linear group , and its standard action on translations. In pair notation , the product is , equivalent to the formula in part (b).
