(a) Find, with justification, the matrix, with respect to the standard basis of R2\mathbb{R}^{2}, of the rotation through an angle α\alpha about the origin.

(b) Find the matrix, with respect to the standard basis of R3\mathbb{R}^{3}, of the rotation through an angle α\alpha about the axis containing the point (35,45,0)\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{5}, 0\right) and the origin. You may express your answer in the form of a product of matrices.
