Short Answer

Question 7: Suppose v1,v2,v3vmare arbitrary vectors in Consider the linear transformation from to given by

T[x1x2xm] =[x1v1,x2v2,x3v3xmvm]

Answer:

Yes, given transformation is linear and the matrix represented by A=v1,v2,v3vm.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step1: System of transformation

We have given a transformation withTx1x2xm =x1v1,x2v2,x3v3xmvm .

Step2: Linear Transformation

A transformation from RmRn is said to be linear if the following condition holds:

  1. Identity of Rm should be mapped to identity of Rn.
  2. T(a+b)=T(a)+T(b)For alla,bRm .
  3. T(ca)=cT(a)Where c is any scalar and aRm.

Step3: Checking for linear transformation 

Now we will find the transformation of identity element.

T(0,0...0)=(0,0...0)

Now let a,bRm.

Then the transformation

T(αa+βb)=αT(a)+βT(b)

Thus, all the conditions are true.

Step4: Matrix for linear transformation

The matrix represented by.A=v1,v2,v3vm

Hence, yes the given transformation is linear and the matrix represented by A=v1,v2,v3vm.
