QUESTION:

a. Prove that if T : Rn Rm is a linear transformation and c is any scalar, then the function cT : Rn Rm defined by (cT )(x) = cT (x) (i.e., the scalar c times the vector T (x)) is also a linear transformation. b. Prove that if S : Rn Rm and T : Rn Rm are linear transformations, then the function S + T : Rn Rm defined by (S + T )(x) = S(x) + T (x) is also a linear transformation. c. Prove that if S : Rm Rp and T : Rn Rm are linear transformations, then the function ST : Rn Rp is also a linear transformation.

ANSWER:

Problem 11

a. Prove that if   is a linear transformation and c is any scalar, then the function  defined by  (i.e., the scalar c times the vector T (x)) is also a linear transformation.

b. Prove that if  and  are linear transformations, then the function  defined by  is also a linear transformation.

c. Prove that if   and  are linear transformations, then the function  is also a linear transformation.

                                                Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 3

a)

Given  is a linear transformation.

Defined by  is also a linear transformation for scalar .

i)

             where  is a  linear transformation

                                                   Also

ii)

       where is a scalar.

              where, is a linear transformation

                                     Also

Hence  is a linear transformation.
