Linear transformations and rotations...
Hi everyone. I need some help getting started on this question.
Let R: R3 ---> R3 be a rotation of pi/4 around the axix in R3. Find the matrix [R]E that defines the linear transformation R in the standard basis E={e1, e2, e3} of R3. Find R(1,2,1)
The problem I'm having is just I don't know how to handle the question since I'm not given an equation for R nor am I given some sort of vector to start with. Or am I supposed to put vectors e1, e2, and e3 as the colums of a matrix and do something like that? I'm confused so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
