(a) In the standard basis of , write down the matrix for a rotation through an angle about the origin.
(b) Let be a real matrix such that and , where is the transpose of .
(i) Suppose that has an eigenvector with eigenvalue 1 . Show that is a rotation through an angle about the line through the origin in the direction of , where trace .
(ii) Show that must have an eigenvector with eigenvalue 1 .
