  1. [2 parts, 2 points each] Decide whether the given transformation is linear. If the transformation is is linear, give the standard matrix. If the transformation is not linear, then explain why.

    1. [ x1 x2 ] ↦ [ 0 |x1 + x2| ]
    2. [ x1 x2 ] ↦ [ e3x1 + tan⁡(π∕5)x2 −x1 ].
  2. [1 point] Let T : ℝn → ℝm be a linear transform, and let 𝐯1,…𝐯p be vectors in ℝn. Show that if {𝐯1,…,𝐯p} is a linearly dependent set, then {T(𝐯1),…,T(𝐯p)} is linearly dependent.

  3. [2 parts, 2 points each] Suppose that T : ℝ2 → ℝ3 is a linear transform, let 𝐮 = [ − 4 1 ] and let 𝐯 = [ 3 − 2 ]. We know that T maps 𝐮 to [ 1 − 2 4 ] and T maps 𝐯 to [ 2 − 1 − 1 ].

    1. Find the image of 2𝐮 −𝐯 under T.
    2. If possible, then find T(𝐰), where 𝐰 = [ 1 − 19 ]. If not possible, then explain why not.
  4. [1 point] Give a simple example of a linear transformation T : ℝ2 → ℝ3 such that the range of T is {[ x1 x2 x3 ] : x1 + x2 + x3 = 0}.
