Description
1. (10 pts) (1.3.27).
2. (5 pts) Let �u = (1, −1, 2), �v = (2, 1, 1), and w� = (0, 2, −1). Is the
triple �u, �v, w� a right-hand set or a left-handed set? Why?
3. (15 pts) (a) Let
cos θ sin θ A = A(θ) = , − sin θ cos θ
and let f : R2 −→ R2 be the function which sends the vector �v = (x, y)
to the vector w� = f(�v) = A�v. Show that w� = f(�v) is the vector �v
rotated around the origin through an angle of θ, so that the function
f represents rotation around the origin through an angle of θ.
(b) Show, by direct computation, that if B = A(θ) and C = A(φ), then
BC = A(θ + φ).
(c) Explain why (b) holds.
