Spin One Particle Rotates Like a Vector, z-axis

In The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume 3 Chapter 5, Feynman poses a challenge to the reader: show that a particular combination of plus, minus and zero states of a spin one particle transforms under a rotation just like a vector does. Here I go over how to work that problem using only what was covered in the book up to that point.
