    1. True or false: If A is an n m matrix, then T : Rm Rn defined by T (~x) = A~x is a linear


    transformation.

    2. Consider the vectors ~e1 and ~e2 in R2 .

    In each part below, you are given a matrix A. Draw what happens to the vectors ~e1 and ~e2 after
    applying the linear transformation T (~x) = A~x. Describe the effect of the linear transformation in

    3. Let T be counterclockwise rotation by the angle in R2 . Find the matrix of T .

    Definition. Let L be a line in Rn going through the origin, and let ~x be any vector in Rn . Then, we can
    write
    ~x = ~xk + ~x
    where ~xk is parallel to L and ~x is perpendicular to L.

    L
    ~
    x

    ~

    ~
    xk

    (Intuitively, we get ~x by dropping a perpendicular from ~x to L.) The orthogonal projection of ~x onto
    L, denoted projL (~x), is defined to be ~xk .

    4. Let L be the line y = 3x in R2 . Find the matrix of projL .

    5. As in #4, let L be the line y = 3x in R2 . Now, lets look at ref L , reflection over the line L. You already
    know one way to find the matrix of ref L (see Problem Set 4, #3), but heres another that uses what
    you figured out in #4.
    (a) Given a vector ~x, express ref L (~x) in terms of projL (~x) and ~x.

    (b) Use your answers to (a) and #4 to find the matrix of ref L .

    (c) How can you check that the matrix you found in (b) is really the matrix of reflection over the line
    y = 3x in R2 ?

    6. Suppose ~v1 , ~v2 , ~v3 are 3 (not necessarily distinct) vectors in R3 .


    (a) What shapes could span(~v1 , ~v2 , ~v3 ) be? List all possibilities.

    (b) Geometrically, how can you tell whether (~v1 , ~v2 , ~v3 ) is a basis of R3 ?
