The parabola y = x2 is rotated anti-clockwise about the origin through the angle 30o. What is the new equation of the new curve (relative to the standard basis)?

If you have a point (x,x2) and you rotate it by 30 degrees around the origin what does it become?

And you can rotate a point (x,y) through an angle \theta about the origin by the matrix multiplication
\begin{bmatrix}cos(\theta) & -sin(\theta) \\ sin(\theta) & cos(\theta)\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y\end{bmatrix}.
