Math Problem Statement
Let a linear map $T:R^2 -> R^3$ defined by $T\begin{pmatrix}2\1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}2\3\-3\end{pmatrix}$, $T\begin{pmatrix}1\2\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}-2\4\0\end{pmatrix}$. Then $T\begin{pmatrix}1\-4\end{pmatrix}$ is equal to
a. $\begin{pmatrix}{r}0\4\end{pmatrix}$ b. $\begin{pmatrix}{r}0\4\end{pmatrix}$ c. $\begin{pmatrix}{r}0\4\end{pmatrix}$ d. $\begin{pmatrix}{r}2\0\2\end{pmatrix}$ e. $\begin{pmatrix}{r}2\0\2\end{pmatrix}$
Solution
Given the linear map defined by:
We need to find .
First, express as a linear combination of and :
This gives us a system of linear equations:
Solve this system by substitution or elimination. We use substitution: First, solve for from the first equation:
Substitute into the second equation:
Then substitute back into :
Thus:
Now apply using linearity:
Therefore, is .
