Exercise · ZW-MATRIX-OF-A-LINEAR-TRANSFORMATION-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

It is known that \(T(1,0)=(1,2)\) and \(T(0,1)=(3,-1)\). What is \(T(2,5)\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \((17,\,-1)\)

Explanation

The matrix has columns \((1,2)\) and \((3,-1)\), and \(T(2,5)=2(1,2)+5(3,-1)=(17,-1)\). Swapping the coefficients would give \((11,8)\), which is wrong.

Review the concept: Matrix of a linear transformation

The matrix \([T]\) of a linear transformation \(T\), with respect to given bases, has as columns the images of the domain basis vectors, written in coordinates of the codomain basis.

\[[T(v)]=[T]\,[v]\]
