Find a matrix R α ∈ R 2 × 2 such that f ( x ) = f R α ( x ) for every x ∈ R 2

I'm trying to solve this task.



Let α∈R be given. Consider the linear map f:R^2→R^2,



   (x1   -->  ( x1·cos(α)−x2·sin(α)
x2) x1.sin(α)+x2·cos(α)).


a) Find a matrix Rα∈R2×2 such that f(x) =f Rα(x) for everyx∈R^2.



b) Interpret the map f, i.e. state what it does to a given vector x∈R^2.



First I thought, I should use this rule
|A| = ad − bc , but I think, It's already used . should i gave α a number like zero and then I will have a matrix and that's it?

  • You have a description there of the result of applying $f$ to an arbitrary column vector $(x_1,x_2)^T$. Can you write that result as a matrix times $(x_1,x_2)^T$ in any way?

Hint: The columns of the matrix are $f(1,0)$ and $f(0,1)$.



For the second part, look at what happens to $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$ and apply a little trigonometry.

  • For the first column, $f(1,0)=(costheta,sintheta)$. So we have $begin{pmatrix}costheta &*\sintheta &*end{pmatrix}$, so far. You try the second column.
