Answer

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1\\ -1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $T(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(x_1-x_2+x_3,x_3-x_1)$ The standard basis vectors in $R_3$ are: $e_1=(1,0,0)\\ e_2=(0,1,0) \\ e_3=(0,0,1)$ Consequently, $T(e_1)=(1,-1)\\ T(e_2)=(-1,0)\\ T(e_3)=(1,1)$ The matrix of the given transformation is: $A=T(e_1,e_2,e_3)=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1\\ -1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
