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