Sec 4.1, No 5: Determine whether the following are linear transformations from R3 into R2 :
Solution:
L(x + y) = L((x1 + y1 , x2 + y2 , x3 + y3 )T )
= (x2 + y2 , x3 + y3 )T
= (x2 , x3 )T + (y2 , y3 )T
= L(x) + L(y)
so this one is linear
Solution:
L(x + y) = L((x1 + y1 , x2 + y2 , x3 + y3 )T )
= (0, 0)T
= (0, 0)T + (0, 0)T
= L(x) + L(y)
so this one is linear
(c) L(x) = (1 + x1 , x2 )T
Solution: Since linearity implies, in particular, that L(x) = L(x), if we set = 0 we see that
L(0) = 0. But for the L we are given we see that L(0) = (1, 0)T 6= (0, 0)T , so this one is not linear.
Solution:
L(x + y) = L((x1 + y1 , x2 + y2 , x3 + y3 )T )
= (x3 + y3 , (x1 + y1 ) + (x2 + y2 ))T
= (x3 + y3 , (x1 + x2 ) + (y1 + y2 ))T
= (x3 , x1 + x2 )T + (y3 , y1 + y2 )T
= L(x) + L(y)
so this one is linear
Sec 4.2, No 3: For each of the following linear operators L on R3 , find a matrix A such that
L(x) = Ax for every x in R3 :
so
1 0 0
A= 1 1 0
1 1 1
1 0 0 x1 x1
Check Ax = 1 1 0 x2 = x1 + x2 = L(x)
1 1 1 x3 x1 + x2 + x3
so
0 0 2
A= 3 1 0
2 0 1
0 0 2 x1 2x3
Check Ax = 3 1 0 x2 = 3x1 + x2 = L(x)
2 0 1 x3 2x1 x3
