Question
In Exercises 29 and 30, describe the possible echelon forms of the standard matrix for a linear transformation T. Use the notation of Example 1 in Section 1.2T : ?4 ? ?3 is onto.Example 1: The following matrices are in echelon form. The leading entries ( ? ) may have any nonzero value; the starred entries (*) may have any value (including zero). The following matrices are in reduced echelon form because the leading entries are 1’s, and there are 0’s below and above each leading 1.
Solution
The first step in solving 1.9 problem number 29 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 29 and 30, describe the possible echelon forms of the standard matrix for a linear transformation T. Use the notation of Example 1 in Section 1.2T : ?4 ? ?3 is onto.Example 1: The following matrices are in echelon form. The leading entries ( ? ) may have any nonzero value; the starred entries (*) may have any value (including zero). The following matrices are in reduced echelon form because the leading entries are 1’s, and there are 0’s below and above each leading 1.
From the textbook chapter The Matrix of a Linear Transformation you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
