1. (10 marks) Give the matrix [L] for L : R2 R2 producing the folowing transformation:

[L] = y

? ? ? ?

[L] =

2. (12 marks) Supose L is linear and L((1, 0, 4)) = (3, 4, 3) and L((0, 1, 2)) = (5, 3, 5). Evaluate the following, enter 0 if there is not enough information given. a) L(3 (1, 0, 4) 2 (0, 1, 2)) = b) L((3, 2, 7)) = c) L((4, 2, 20)) = d) L((4, 3, 9)) = L(3 (1, 0, 4) 2 (0, 1, 2)) = L((3, 2, 7)) = 1

L((4, 2, 20)) = L((4, 3, 9)) =

3. (18 marks) L : R3 R3 is a dialation by a factor of 2 of points in the plane W given by the equation 2x y + z = 0 and a contraction along the line L = span({(0, 1, 0)}) by a factor of 3. Here: L dialates by a factor of a along v iff L(v) = av, similarly, L contracts by a factor of a 1 v. along v iff L(v) = a Find a) L(e3 1 ) (write as a vector (a, b, c)) b) L(e3 2) c) L(e3 3) d) The matrix [L] of the linear transformation. e) Compute L((4, 1, 2)). (write as a vector (a, b, c) f) What are the eigenvalues of L? (write as a set {1 , 2 }) g) (Not Graded) Find a maximal linear independent set of eigenvectors of L. L(e3 1) = L(e3 2) = L(e3 3) = [L] = L((4, 1, 2)) = Set of eigenvalues

4. (10 marks) A function, f : R3 R3 , is linear iff f (ax + by ) = af ( x) + bf ( y ) for x = (x1 , x2 , x3 ), y = (y1 , y2 , y3 ) R3 . Every linear function f : R3 R3 is given by a (3 3)-matrix M in the sense that f ( x) = M x

where x is viewed as the column vector

x1 x2 x3

In fact the matrix M is very easy to nd, M = [f (e1 )|f (e2 )|f (e3 )] where e1 = (1, 0, 0), e2 = (0, 1, 0), and e3 = (0, 0, 1) and each f (ei ) is viewed as a column vector. Consider the linear function f that in the direction of (1, 4, 3) scales by a factor of 3, i.e., f (1, 4, 3) = 3(1, 4, 3) and which rotates the xy -plane /6 rad counterclockwise from the positive x-axis, i.e., f (r cos(), r sin(), 0) = (r cos( /6), r sin( /6), 0). (a) Find M . (b) Find f (0, 7, 1). (Write your answer as a vector (?, ?, ?).) M= f (0, 7, 1) =

5. (16 marks) Let R be the linear transformation that rotates space around the z -axis by 5/6 rad and let T be the linear transformation that reects points in R3 through the plane 3xy +3z = 0. a) Find [R]. b) nd [T ]. c) Find [L1 ] where L1 : R3 R3 rst rotates about the z -axis by 5/6rad (measured counterclockwise from the x-axis) and then reects points through the plane 3x y +3z = 0, so L1 = T R. d) Find [L2 ] where L2 rst reects through 3x y + 3z = 0 and then rotates about the z -axis by 5/6rad measured counterclockwise from the x-axis. [R ] = [T ] = [L1 ] = [L2 ] =
