Use Exercise 28 to determine whether the given orthogonal matrix represents a rotation or a reflection. If it is a rotation, give the angle of rotation; if it is a reflection, give the line of reflection.

Data From Exercise 28

(a) Prove that an orthogonal 2 × 2 matrix must have the form

where

is a unit vector.

(b) Using part (a), show that every orthogonal 2 × 2 matrix is of the form

where 0 ‰¤ u ‰¤ 2Ï€.

(c) Show that every orthogonal 2 × 2 matrix corresponds to either a rotation or a reflection in 2.

(d) Show that an orthogonal 2 × 2 matrix Q corresponds to a rotation in R² if det Q = 1 and a reflection in R² if det Q = -1.
