Chapter 8.6 Problem 32

Question

Euler's Axis of Rotation Theorem states: If \(A\) is an orthogonal \(3 \times 3\) matrix for which \(det?(A)=1\), then multiplication by \(A\) is a rotation about a line through the origin in \(R^{3}\). Moreover, if \(u\) is a unit vector along this line, then \(Au=u\)


a. Confirm that the following matrix \(A\) is orthogonal, that \(det?(A)=1\), and that there is a unit vector \(u\) for which \(Au=u\)

\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & \frac{6}{7} \\ \frac{3}{7} & -\frac{6}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{6}{7} & \frac{2}{7} & -\frac{3}{7} \end{array}\right]\)

b. Use Formula (3) to prove that if \(A\) is a \(3 \times 3\) orthogonal matrix for which \(det?(A)=1\), then the angle of rotation resulting from multiplication by \(A\) satisfies the equation \(\cos \theta=\frac{1}{2}[\operatorname{tr}(A)-1\)]. Use this result to find the angle of
rotation for the rotation matrix in part (a).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 8.6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Euler's Axis of Rotation Theorem states: If \(A\) is an orthogonal \(3 \times 3\) matrix for which \(det?(A)=1\), then multiplication by \(A\) is a rotation about a line through the origin in \(R^{3}\). Moreover, if \(u\) is a unit vector along this line, then \(Au=u\)a. Confirm that the following matrix \(A\) is orthogonal, that \(det?(A)=1\), and that there is a unit vector \(u\) for which \(Au=u\)\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & \frac{6}{7} \\ \frac{3}{7} & -\frac{6}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{6}{7} & \frac{2}{7} & -\frac{3}{7} \end{array}\right]\)b. Use Formula (3) to prove that if \(A\) is a \(3 \times 3\) orthogonal matrix for which \(det?(A)=1\), then the angle of rotation resulting from multiplication by \(A\) satisfies the equation \(\cos \theta=\frac{1}{2}[\operatorname{tr}(A)-1\)]. Use this result to find the angle ofrotation for the rotation matrix in part (a).
From the textbook chapter Geometry of Matrix Operators you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
