Linear Transformations and Vector Operations

The video tutorial explains how to find the transformation of a vector from R2 to R3 using a linear transformation. It begins by introducing the problem and the vectors involved. Instead of finding the transformation matrix, the vector is expressed as a linear combination of known vectors. The coefficients are determined using an augmented matrix, and the transformation is applied using linear properties. Finally, the transformed vector is calculated by subtracting the corresponding components.
