Math Problem Statement

The x’y’-coordinate system has been rotated θ degrees from the xy-coordinate system. The coordinates of a point in the xy-coordinate system are given. Find the coordinates of the point in the rotated coordinate system.

a.Θ = 90o, (0, 3)

Solution

When a coordinate system is rotated by an angle θ\theta, the coordinates (x,y)(x', y') in the rotated system can be found using the following transformation formulas:

x=xcosθ+ysinθx' = x \cos \theta + y \sin \theta y=xsinθ+ycosθy' = -x \sin \theta + y \cos \theta

Given:

  • θ=90\theta = 90^\circ
  • Coordinates in the original system: (x,y)=(0,3)(x, y) = (0, 3)

Now, apply the rotation:

  1. Compute xx': x=xcos90+ysin90=0×0+3×1=3x' = x \cos 90^\circ + y \sin 90^\circ = 0 \times 0 + 3 \times 1 = 3

  2. Compute yy': y=xsin90+ycos90=0×1+3×0=0y' = -x \sin 90^\circ + y \cos 90^\circ = -0 \times 1 + 3 \times 0 = 0

Thus, the coordinates in the rotated system are (x,y)=(3,0)(x', y') = (3, 0).

Would you like any further details or clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. What is the general rotation formula for any angle θ\theta?
  2. How does a negative angle of rotation affect the transformation?
  3. What happens to the coordinates of a point after a 180180^\circ rotation?
  4. How can you derive the inverse rotation transformation?
  5. What is the impact of rotating by small angles, such as 1515^\circ?

Tip: When rotating by 9090^\circ, cos(90)\cos(90^\circ) becomes 0 and sin(90)\sin(90^\circ) becomes 1, making the calculation particularly straightforward.
