Linear Transformations and Matrix Operations

This video tutorial introduces matrix transformations, explaining how functions map from Rn to Rm using matrices. It covers key vocabulary such as domain, codomain, image, pre-image, and range. The tutorial provides examples of transformations from R3 to R2 and R2 to R3, demonstrating the process graphically. It concludes with a discussion on linear transformations, highlighting their properties and proving them using matrix operations.

Which property must a linear transformation satisfy?

• T(u + v) = T(u) - T(v)

• T(cu) = c + T(u)

• T(cu) = c - T(u)

• T(u + v) = T(u) + T(v)

Why is a matrix transformation considered a linear transformation?

• Because it maps vectors to numbers

• Because it maps numbers to matrices

• Because it satisfies the properties of vector addition and scalar multiplication

• Because it maps matrices to vectors
