Thread: Linear Transformation Problem...

JUst need someone to showme how to do this then it will defintly clarify the rest of the problems for me.. one of the few examples is

1- Show there exists a linear transofrmation T: R2→R3 such that T(1,1) = (1,0,2) and T(2,3) = (1,-1,4). What is T(8,11)?

You can express,
[8,11]=2*[1,1]+3*[2,3]
Using the linearity property of the linear operator to get,
T(8,11)=2*T(1,1)+3*T(2,3)=2*[1,0,2]+3*[1,-1,4]

Suppose T is that thransformation

T(1,0) = 3 T(1,1) - T(2,3) = (2, 1, 2)

T(0,1) = T(2,3) - 2 T(1,1) = (-1,-1, 0)

So the matrix M = (2, -1 ; 1, -1 ; 2, 0) does this job and so defines a linear
transformation with the required properties, hence a linear transformation
T exists with the required properties and is defined by the matrix M.

Hence T(8,11) = [M (8,11)']' = (5, -3, 16)
