Outcomes

In this lesson you will learn

  • the unit vector
  • the general rotational matrix

By the end of this section students will be able to:

  • perform various transformations using multiplication of matrices
  • derive and apply the general rotational matrix

Prerequisites

To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:

  • the unit circle, including the exact sines and cosines 
  • how each point on the unit circle is related to the sine and cosine functions
  • transformations and mapping rules
  • radian measure
  • cofunctions (from Investigation 2, Section 4.1)
  • how to find the distance between two points
