Describe all vectors in span{(3,0,2), (-2,0,3)} (so computationally what do the vectors look like?). Also give a geometric description for these vectors (what space are you in and visually what do you get? Be as descriptive as you can!).
Consider a rectangular surface of length L and width W in the xy plane with its center at the origin:
Which of the following are valid expressions for the area vector of this surface? Check all that apply.
O (0,0, LW)
O (W, L, 0)
O (0,0, -LW)
O (LW, LW, 0)

, where a,b,c,d lies in the x-y plane. I need to apply
rotation matrices to rotate this matrix in the
following manner.
1. The rotation is along the x axis by angle theta
2. The rotation is along the y axis by angle theta
3. The rotation is along the z axis by angle theta
NOTE! Clearly state the theory to derive the
rotation matrices for all the cases. State the rotation
matrices and show with an example that it works
for all cases.
