       (a) Show that if A is orthogonal, then is orthogonal.

     (b) What is the normal system for    when A is orthogonal?

   Verify that the reflection matrices in Tables 2 and 3 of Section 4.2 are orthogonal.

     Let a rectangular -coordinate system be obtained by rotating a rectangular -coordinate system counterclockwise through

6. the angle       .

     (a) Find the -coordinates of the point whose -coordinates are (−2, 6).
     (b) Find the -coordinates of the point whose -coordinates are (5, 2).

   Repeat Exercise 6 with    .
7.

     Let a rectangular -coordinate system be obtained by rotating a rectangular -coordinate system counterclockwise about

8. the z-axis (looking down the z-axis) through the angle     .

     (a) Find the     -coordinates of the point whose -coordinates are (−1, 2, 5).

     (b) Find the -coordinates of the point whose -coordinates are ( 1, 6, −3).

   Repeat Exercise 8 for a rotation of    counterclockwise about the y-axis (looking along the positive y-axis toward the
9. origin).                                 counterclockwise about the x-axis (looking along the positive x-axis toward the

     Repeat Exercise 8 for a rotation of
10. origin).

11.

     (a) A rectangular          -coordinate system is obtained by rotating an -coordinate system counterclockwise about the

              y-axis through an angle (looking along the positive y-axis toward the origin). Find a matrix A such that

              where          and          are the coordinates of the same point in the - and                            -systems

              respectively.
