The co-ordinates of a point P referred to a rectangular co-ordinate system where O is the origin are $(1,-2)$. The axes are rotated about 0 through angle theta, if coordinates of the new P are $(k-1,k+1)$, then $k^2$?

    well i tried rotating the axes, the answer doesn't seem to match, i think it is something related to rectangular axes. And Btw, the answer is 3/2.

    If you rotate the axis, does it change the lenght of the vector?

    I am telling you my idea. Under a rotation with respect to the origin the length of the vector doesn't change. So the length of $(1,-2)$ is the same as the lenth of $(k-1,k+1).$

Rotations preserve length and because it's a rotation with respect to the orgin, the distance from $(1,-2)$ to the orgin is equal to the distance from $(k-1, k+1)$ to the orgin. We can write the equation $$sqrt1^2+(-2)^2=sqrt(k-1)^2+(k+1)^2.$$
Squaring both sides and expanding gives us $$5=2k^2+2.$$
Thus, $$2k^2=3$$ and $$boxedk^2=frac32.$$

  • Thanks, btw if rotation is not with respect to the origin, will the length still be constant?
    – Abdullah
    Aug 16 at 19:52










  • Nope, the distance to the orgin will not be constant if it's rotated with respect to any other point.

  • I understand that the distance to the origin to the origin won't be constant as such, but i meant to ask about the 'vector length'
