Question:

Let (1, 0) and (0, 1) represent the unit vectors along the x and y directions, respectively. The operator

cose -sine sine cose

Effects a rotation in the x-y plane. Show that the length of an arbitrary vector 

0--80 + b

which is defined as ˆša2 + b2 , is unchanged by this rotation. See the Math Supplement (Appendix A) for a discussion of matrices.
