Please do part A and B and please show step by step and explain

(a) Draw a set of \( x, y, \) and \( z \) axes so that the vectors \([1, 0, 0]^T, [0, 1, 0]^T, [0, 0, 1]^T\) form a right-handed system.

(b) Draw a set of \( x, y, \) and \( z \) axes so that the vectors \([1, 0, 0]^T, [0, 1, 0]^T, [0, 0, 1]^T\) form a left-handed system.

Any \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A\) produces a function from three-dimensional space to itself as follows: given any vector \(\mathbf{v} = [v_1, v_2, v_3]^T\), then the image vector is \(A\mathbf{v}\). Using summation notation, we may write:

\[
[A\mathbf{v}]_i = \sum_j A_{ij}v_j.
\]

Now, whenever we move an object in space, to get the new locations of various points on the object we have to define a function whose domain and codomain are subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^3\). If that object is a rigid sphere (like the earth), and the motion is such that the center of the sphere does not change, the motion is called a rotation. The function that describes a rotation in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) can actually be expressed as a matrix as described above. But not all \(3 \times 3\) matrices are rotation matrices. They must have some particular mathematical properties, as described in the next two paragraphs.

First, a rotation matrix \(R\) must preserve lengths and angles. In other words, if \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{w}\) are any two 3-d vectors , then \(\|R\mathbf{v}\| = \|\mathbf{v}\|\), \(\|R\mathbf{w}\| = \|\mathbf{w}\|\), and furthermore the angle between \(R\mathbf{v}\) and \(R\mathbf{w}\) must be the same as the angle between \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{w}\). In view of the cosine formula, this means that the dot product must be preserved: \(R\mathbf{v} \cdot R\mathbf{w} = \mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}\). In fact, since vector length is the square root of a dot product, all of these conditions will be satisfied as long as

\[
R\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}
\]

for any two 3-d vectors \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{w}\).

Another important property of rotation matrices is that they preserve handedness. Handed
