Solution:
(a) Let ~u =

and ~v = 1 . Then

u1 + v1
T (~u + ~v ) = T
u2 + v2
(u1 + v1 )2
=
u2 + v2

u1 + 2u1 v1 + v12
=
u2 + v2
But

(b) Let ~u = 1 and ~v = 1 . Then
u2

T (~u + ~v )

But

u1 + v1

u2 + v2 + 6
=
6= T (~u + ~v )
Therefore, T is not linear.
3. In each case, find the standard matrix for the given transformation.
(a) A reflection in the y-axis followed by a rotation through /3.
(b) A rotation through /4 followed by a reflection in the x-axis.

4. If A is 4 4 and det A = 2, find det(15A1 6 adjA).
Solution
We have A1 =
1

adjA = adjA, so adjA = 2A1 .
det A

Using the fact that A1 is of size 4 4, this gives
det(15A1 6 adjA) = det(15A1 12A1 ) = det(3 A1 ) = 34 det(A1 ) = 81
