Linear transformation and matrix
A matrix represents a linear transformation of vectors. Is the reverse true? Namely, can any linear transformation (of finite dimensional vectors) be represented by a matrix?
- Yes
- No
Ans: A
Matrix and linear transformation
Suppose that a linear transformation of a 2D vector space maps $\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{smallmatrix} \bigr)$ to $\vec{a}$, and $\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{smallmatrix} \bigr)$ to $\vec{b}$. (Recall that we consider $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ as column vectors.) The matrix that represents this linear transformation is
$\left(\vec{a}\quad \vec{b}\right)$
$\left(\begin{smallmatrix} \; \vec{a}^t \; \\ \; \vec{b}^t \; \end{smallmatrix} \right)$
- None of the above.
