How do you find coordinate vectors + what is their geometric meaning?

For some v = c1u1 + c2u2 + ... + ckuk where the vectors are apart of an ordered basis, the scalars make up the coordinate vector for that basis

The scalars that make up the coordinate vector tells you how to get v by going c1 units in u1, etc.

Are orthogonal sets of vectors linearly indepedent?

Yes

What makes a linear transformation?

For some transformation T:
1) T(u + v) = T(u) + T(v)
2) T(cu) = cT(u)

How do you compute [T]C←B?

[[T(b1)C [T(b2)]C ... [T(bn)]C]

For two linear transformations T and S, which transformation acts first for [T ∘ S]?

S

Does using the standard basis output a new coordinate vector?

No

200

How do you project a vector onto a subspace?

Project the vector onto each of the individual orthogonal basis vectors and adding them together

200

What should be the first thing that should be checked to see if a transformation is linear?

T(0) = 0

How do you compute [T]εmεn?

[[T(e1) [T(e2)] ... [T(en)]] = [T]

What is a quick way to identify that a linear transformation is not invertible?

Difference in dimension when taking the transformation

Given two bases B and C, how do you find the change of basis matrix from B to C?

Find the RREF of [C | B] and read off the right-hand side

Define:

1) Kernel
2) Image

1) The set of vectors that get sent to zero (similar to Null space) -> a subspace of domain -> ker(T) = Null([T])
2) The output(s) of the transformation (similar to codomain/range) -> a subspace of codomain -> im(T) = Col([T])

How do you check if a matrix is orthogonal?

For some orthogonal matrix A:

AAT = ATA = I; A-1 = AT

How is the standard matrix [T] built?

[T] = [T(e1) T(e2) ... T(en)]

400

How do you compute [T] given

[T]εm←B = [T]εmεnPεn←B

Since [T] = [T]εmεn

[T] = [T]εm←BPBεn
[T] = [T]εm←B(Pεn←B)-1
[T] = [T(b1) ... T(bn)][b1 ... bn]-1

What are the standard rotation matrices about:

1) the x-axis
2) the y-axis
3) the z-axis

1) [[1 0 0], [0 cosθ -sinθ], [0 sinθ cosθ]]
2) [[cosθ 0 sinθ], [0 1 0], [-sinθ 0 cosθ]]
3) [[cosθ -sinθ 0], [sinθ cosθ 0], [0 0 1]]

500

If B is an orthonormal basis, how can the following be rewritten?

[S] = Pεn←B[S]B←BPBεn

Since B is an orthonormal basis (and therefore orthogonal): PBεn = (Pεn←B)-1 = (Pεn←B)T


[S] = Pεn←B[S]B←B(Pεn←B)T

When is a linear transformation one-to-one?

ker(T) = {0} or nullity(T) = 0
