Chapter 6 - Linear Transformations - 6.3 Matrices for Linear Transformations - 6.3 Exercises - Page 322: 12

Answer

a) The matrix corresponding to linear transformation $T$ is given by: $A=[T(e_1)$ $T(e_2)]$ $=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 0}&{1}\\ 1&{ 0} \end{array}} \right]$ b) The image of $v=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3\\ 4 \end{array}} \right]$ is $ \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 4}\\ { 3} \end{array}} \right] $ c) See image below.

Work Step by Step

a) Take the standard basis for $R^2,$ which is $\{(1,0),(0,1)\}=\{e_1,e_2\}$. Given $T(x,y)=(y,x)$ Then, $T(1,0)=(0,1)\\ T(0,1)=(1,0)$ Therefore, the matrix corresponding to linear transformation $T$ is given by: $A=[T(e_1)$ $T(e_2)]$ $=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 0}&{1}\\ 1&{ 0} \end{array}} \right]$ b) Hence, the image of $v=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3\\ 4 \end{array}} \right]$ is $\begin{array}{l} T(v) = Av\\ \Rightarrow T\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3\\ 4 \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 0}&1\\ 1&0 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3\\ 4 \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 4}\\ { 3} \end{array}} \right] \end{array}$ c)
