ii. T(x1,x2)=(x2,x1)
iii. T(x1,x2)=(x12,x2)

2. Show that the maps T: ℂ → ℂ given by T(z) =iz and U: ℂ → ℂ given by 𝑈(𝑧) = 𝑧̅ are linear maps.
3. Fix v ∈ V. Consider the map Tv : V → V given by T(x) = x+v. Prove that Tv is linear if and only if
v=0. ( Tv is called the translation map of V by v).
5. Let V be a vector space of nxn matrices and let B be a fixed nxn matrix. Define T: V →V as
𝑇(𝐴) = 𝐴𝐵 − 𝐵𝐴. Is T a linear map?
6. Let F be a field and V the vector space of all polynomial functions from F into F. Let D be the
differentiation operator and let T be the linear operator ‘multiplication by x’ given by 𝑇(𝑓) =
𝑥𝑓. Show that 𝑇𝐷 ≠ 𝐷𝑇.
9. Let T: ℝ2→ℝ3 be defined by T(x,y)=(x,x+y,y). Find the range and Kernel of T and their dimensions.
10. Can you construct a linear transformation T: ℝ2→ℝ4 such that Image (T) = {(x1,x2,x3,x4) ∈ℝ4 :
x1+x2+x3+x4=0}?
11. Can you construct a linear transformation T: ℝ2→ℝ3 such that Image (T) = {(x1,x2,x3) ∈ℝ3 :
x1+x2+x3 =0}?
