Determine if the following transformation is a linear transformation: T:R2→R2defined byT(x,y)=(2x−y,3x+4y)
Solution
To determine if the given transformation T is a linear transformation, we need to check if it satisfies the two properties of linearity: 1. Additivity: T(u+v)=T(u)+T(v) 2. Homogeneity: T(cu)=cT(u) Given T(x,y)=(2x−y,3x+4y). Let u=(x1,y1) and v=(x2,y2). Check additivity: T(u+v)=T((x1,y1)+(x2,y2))=T(x1+x2,y1+y2)=(2(x1+x2)−(y1+y2),3(x1+x2)+4(y1+y2))=(2x1+2x2−y1−y2,3x1+3x2+4y1+4y2) Now compute T(u)+T(v): T(u)=T(x1,y1)=(2x1−y1,3x1+4y1)T(v)=T(x2,y2)=(2x2−y2,3x2+4y2)T(u)+T(v)=(2x1−y1,3x1+4y1)+(2x2−y2,3x2+4y2)=(2x1−y1+2x2−y2,3x1+4y1+3x2+4y2)=(2x1+2x2−y1−y2,3x1+3x2+4y1+4y2) Since T(u+v)=T(u)+T(v), additivity is satisfied. Check homogeneity: T(cu)=T(c(x1,y1))=T(cx1,cy1)=(2(cx1)−(cy1),3(cx1)+4(cy1))=(c(2x1−y1),c(3x1+4y1))=c(2x1−y1,3x1+4y1)=cT(x1,y1) Since T(cu)=cT(u), homogeneity is satisfied. Therefore, T(x,y)=(2x−y,3x+4y) is a linear transformation. Solved on Solvelet with Basic AI Model

DefinitionA transformation function is a function of two vector spaces that follows the model of vector spaces. For a linear transformation T, the vectors u (and v and the scalar c) have T(u + v) = T(u) + T(v) and T(cu) = cT(u). For example, the transformation T is a linear function defined by the matrix (x, y) = (2x, 3y).
