Define linear transformation with an example. Is a transformation T(x, y) = (3x + y, 5x + 7y, x+3y) linear? Justify. [5]

A transformation T: V → W is called a linear transformation if it satisfies the following two properties for all vectors u, v in the domain and all scalars c: 1. Additivity: T(u + v) = T(u) + T(v) 2. Homogeneity: T(cv) = c · T(v) The set ℝⁿ is called the do...

The columns of $I_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ are $e_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $e_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$. Suppose $T$ is a linear transformation from $\mathbb{R}^2$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that $T(e_1) = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \ 1 \ -2 \end{bmatrix}$, $T(e_2) = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \ -1 \ 8 \end{bmatrix}$

Find a formula for the image of an arbitrary $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. That is, find $T(x)$ for $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. [2.5+2.5]

Finding Standard Matrices of Linear Transformations

The problem has three separate parts (the codomain labels for parts 2 and 3 are printed as $\mathbb{R}^4$, but the descriptions are the standard $2\times2$ transformations; see notes below). Part 1: $T:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^4$, with - $T(\mathbf{e}1)=(3...

Let us define a linear transformation $T: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ by $T(x) = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \ x_2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -x_2 \ x_1 \end{bmatrix}$. Find the image under $T$ of $u = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$, $v = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}$ and $u + v = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \ 4 \end{bmatrix}$. [5]
