Step by step solution

01

Determine whether the given statement is true or false

(a)

Every linear transformation from\({\mathbb{R}^n}\)to\({\mathbb{R}^m}\)can be viewed as a matrix transformation.

Thus, the given statement (a) is false.

02

Determine whether the given statement is true or false

(b)

Theorem 10 states that let\(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^m}\)be a linear transformation, then there exists a unique matrix\(A\)such that\(T\left( x \right) = Ax\)for all\(x\)in\({\mathbb{R}^n}\). \(A\)is the\(m \times n\)matrix whose\[j{\mathop{\rm th}\nolimits} \]column of the identity matrix in\({\mathbb{R}^n}\):\(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{T\left( {{e_1}} \right)}&{...}&{T\left( {{e_n}} \right)}\end{array}} \right]\).

Thus, the given statement (b) is true.

03

Determine whether the given statement is true or false

(c)

The standard matrix of a linear transformation from\({\mathbb{R}^2}\)to\({\mathbb{R}^2}\)that reflects points through the horizontal axis, the vertical axis or the origin has the form\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0\\0&1\end{array}} \right]\).

Thus, the given statement (c) is true.

04

Determine whether the given statement is true or false

(d)

A transformation\(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^m}\)is said to be one-to-one\({\mathbb{R}^m}\)if each\[{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \]in\({\mathbb{R}^m}\)is the image of at most one\(x\)in\({\mathbb{R}^n}\).

Thus, the given statement (d) is false.

05

Determine whether the given statement is true or false

(e)

Consider that\(A\)is a\(3 \times 2\)matrix; the columns of\(A\)span\({\mathbb{R}^3}\)if and only if\(A\)has 3 pivot columns. Since\(A\)has only two columns, so the columns of\(A\)do not span\({\mathbb{R}^3}\), and the linear transformation does not map\({\mathbb{R}^2}\)onto\({\mathbb{R}^3}\).

Thus, the given statement (e) is true.

Let S be a maximal linearly independent subset of a vector space V. In other words, S has the property that if a vector not in S is adjoined to S, the new set will no longer be linearly independent. Prove that S must be a basis of V. [Hint: What if S were linearly independent but not a basis of V?]

Suppose a nonhomogeneous system of nine linear equations in ten unknowns has a solution for all possible constants on the right sides of the equations. Is it possible to find two nonzero solutions of the associated homogeneous system that are not multiples of each other? Discuss.

Let \(A\) be any \(2 \times 3\) matrix such that \({\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} A = 1\), let u be the first column of \(A\), and suppose \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \ne 0\). Explain why there is a vector v in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) such that \(A = {{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\). How could this construction be modified if the first column of \(A\) were zero?

A homogeneous system of twelve linear equations in eight unknowns has two fixed solutions that are not multiples of each other, and all other solutions are linear combinations of these two solutions. Can the set of all solutions be described with fewer than twelve homogeneous linear equations? If so, how many? Discuss.

Let V be a vector space that contains a linearly independent set \(\left\{ {{u_{\bf{1}}},{u_{\bf{2}}},{u_{\bf{3}}},{u_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\). Describe how to construct a set of vectors \(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{2}}},{v_{\bf{3}}},{v_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\) in V such that \(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\) is a basis for Span\(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{2}}},{v_{\bf{3}}},{v_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\).
