problem: Rx = the counterclockwise rotation of x through 30 degrees. Find a matrix for the linear mapping R.
To find a matrix for a linear mapping relative to the standard basis, We must observe the effect of the mapping on each basis vector: Rotate conterclockwise through 30 degrees: Rotate conterclockwise through 30 degrees: First column Second column
= = the 30 degree rotation of
This can be generalized: = the degree rotation of
