Solution to Linear Algebra Done Wrong Exercise 1.3.4
Find $3\times 3$ matrices representing the transformations of $\mathbb R^3$ which:a) project every vector onto $x\text{-}y$ plane;b) reflect every vector through $x\text{-}y$ plane;c) rotate the $x\text{-}y$ plane through $30^\circ$, leaving…
Solution to Linear Algebra Done Wrong Exercise 1.3.3
For each linear transformation below find its matrix a) $T:\mathbb R^2\to \mathbb R^3$ defined by $$T(x,y)^T=(x+2y,2x-5y,7y)^T;$$ Solution: We have $$T\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\end{pmatrix}=x\begin{pmatrix} 1\\ 2\\ 0\end{pmatrix}+y\begin{pmatrix} 2\\ -5\\ 7\end{pmatrix},$$ hence the matrix…
