Question

Rotate the xy-axes in the plane counterclockwise through an angle θ = 60° to obtain new x' y' -axes. Use the methods of this section to find                        (a) the x' y'-coordinates of the point whose xy-coordinates are (3, 2) and       (b) the xy-coordinates of the point whose x'y' -coordinates are (4, -4)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Data

The angle of rotation in anticlock wise direciton is θ=60°.

 

(a)

The expression for the x’ coordinates of the point whose xy-coordinates are (3, 2),

Geometry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

 

 

Step 2

The expression for the y’ coordinates of the point whose xy-coordinates are (3, 2),

Geometry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

Hence the x’y’ coordinates of the point whose xy-coordinates are (3, 2) is (2.232, -1.598).
