Exercise 6.11.10

Answers

If V is a two-dimensional real inner product space, we get the result by the Corollary after Theorem 6.45. If V is a three-dimensional real inner product space and U,T are two rotations, we have det (UT) = det (U)det (T) = 1. By the discussion in Exercise 6.11.7(a), we know that UT should be a rotation.
