Please explain trickier parts, I am using this to study for a test.
8. Given the following sets of equations:
v^2 - x + and = 2
and
(x' + 3/3) = ?
(a) Write each set of equations using matrices.
(b) Prove that the coefficient matrices corresponding to the two sets of equations can correspond to rotation matrices by showing that the matrices are orthogonal matrices.
(c) Solve for x and y in terms of x' and y by multiplying the coefficient matrices for the two sets of equations.
(d) The two sets of equations represent rotations of axes about the z-axis. By comparing the matrices for the two sets of equations with the rotation matrix derived in class, find the rotation angles for each set.

(e) Using the matrix you found in (c), find the angle of rotation from the -y to directly to -y and show that it is equal to the sum of the rotation angles you determined in part (d).
