Hint: $\vec{v}+\vec{w}=T(L(\vec{v}))+T(L(\vec{w}))=T(L(\vec{v})+L(\vec{w}))$
since $T$ is linear. Now apply $L$ on both sides.

Problem 47
In this exercise we will prove the following remarkable theorem: If $T(\vec{x})=A \vec{x}$ is any linear transfor mation from $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{2},$ then there exist perpendicular unit vectors $\vec{v}_{1}$ and $\vec{v}_{2}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ such that the vectors $T\left(\vec{v}_{1}\right)$ and $T\left(\vec{v}_{2}\right)$ are perpendicular as well (see the accompanying figure $),$ in the sense that $T\left(\vec{v}_{1}\right) \cdot T\left(\vec{v}_{2}\right)=$
0. This is not intuitively obvious: Think about the case of a shear, for example. For a generalization, see Theorem 8.3 .3
For any real number $t,$ the vectors $\left[\begin{array}{c}\cos t \\ \sin t\end{array}\right]$ and $\left[\begin{array}{c}-\sin t \\ \cos t\end{array}\right]$ will be perpendicular unit vectors. Now we
can consider the function
\[\begin{aligned}f(t) &=\left(T\left[\begin{array}{c}\cos t \\\sin t\end{array}\right]\right) \cdot\left(T\left[\begin{array}{c}-\sin t \\
\cos t\end{array}\right]\right) \\&=\left(A\left[\begin{array}{c}\cos t \\
\sin t
\end{array}\right]\right) \cdot\left(A\left[\begin{array}{c}-\sin t \\\cos t\end{array}\right]\right)\end{aligned}\]
It is our goal to show that there exists a number $c$ such that $f(c)=\left(T\left[\begin{array}{c}\cos c \\ \sin c\end{array}\right]\right) \cdot\left(T\left[\begin{array}{c}-\sin c \\ \cos c\end{array}\right]\right)=0 .$ Then
the vectors $\vec{v}_{1}=\left[\begin{array}{c}\cos c \\ \sin c\end{array}\right]$ and $\vec{v}_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{c}-\sin c \\ \cos c\end{array}\right]$ will
have the required property that they are perpendicular unit vectors such that $T\left(\vec{v}_{1}\right) \cdot T\left(\vec{v}_{2}\right)=0$
a. Show that the function $f(t)$ is continuous. You may assume that $\cos t, \sin t,$ and constant functions are continuous. Also, sums and products of continuous functions are continuous. Hint: Write $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right]$
b. Show that $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=-f(0)$
c. Show that there exists a number $c,$ with $0 \leq c \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ such that $f(c)=0 .$ Hint: Use the intermediate value theorem: If a function $f(t)$ is continuous for $a \leq t \leq b$ and if $L$ is any number between $f(a)$ and $f(b),$ then there exists a number $c$ between $a$ and $b$ with $f(c)=L$.
