(a) What exactly does this mean? That is, what is the practical upshot
when it comes to plugging in vectors to T 3 ?
Solution
Solution
Well,
T (z) = T (cT 2 (x)) = cT 3 (x) = 0
and

(d) Explain why the set B = {b1 , b2 , b3 } is a basis for R3 . (Hint: Some
of the work youve already done might help. )
Solution
(e) Find the B-matrix for the linear transformation T . (This can be done
with very little work).
Solution
Since
T (b1 ) = b2 , T (b2 ) = b3 and T (b3 ) = 0,
the matrix must be

for R3 consisting of eigenvectors for A. The matrix P is the change
of coordinates from B to the standard basis, and D is the diagonal
matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal. Thus if
