Exercise · ZW-MATRIX-OF-A-LINEAR-TRANSFORMATION-009 · ★★★ Advanced

The matrix of \(T\) in the standard bases is \(\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\3&4\end{pmatrix}\) and \(T(v)=(5,11)\). What is \(v\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \((1,\,2)\)

Explanation

Look for \(v=(a,b)\) with \(a+2b=5\) and \(3a+4b=11\), which gives \(a=1\), \(b=2\). Check: \(T(2,1)=(4,10)\), which does not match.

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.

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