Question 7 • Precalculus

Which angle of rotation is determined by the matrix given? the 2 by 2 matrix, row 1, column 1, negative the fraction with numerator square root of 2 and denominator 2 column 2, the fraction with numerator square root of 2 and denominator 2 row 2, column 1, negative the fraction with numerator square root of 2 and denominator 2 column 2, negative the fraction with numerator square root of 2 and denominator 2

Answer
A
225 degrees
B
135 degrees
C
45 degrees
D
315 degrees

Explanation

A rotation matrix has the form [[cos θ, −sin θ], [sin θ, cos θ]]. Here cos θ = −√2/2 and sin θ = −√2/2, which places θ in the third quadrant at 225°. The matrix therefore determines a rotation of 225 degrees.
