Problem Set 2 Due Tues. Oct 9, 6:10pm sharp, in class . Late assignments will not be accepted - even if its one minute late! Be sure to clearly write your name, student number, and your tutorial section on the top right-hand corner of your assignment. Your assignment must be written up clearly on standard size paper, stapled, and cannot consist of torn pages otherwise it will not be graded. You are welcome to work in groups but problem sets must be written up independently - any suspicion of copying/plagiarism will be dealt with accordingly and will result at the minimum of a grade of zero for the problem set. You are welcome to discuss the problem set questions in tutorial, or with your instructor. You may also use Piazza to discuss problem sets but you are not permitted to ask for or post complete solutions to problem set questions.
1. Show that the linear transformation T : M22 (F ) P2 (F ) dened by T( is surjective but not injective. a c b ) = (a d) + (b d)x + (c d)x2 d
2. Show that the linear transformation T : F 3 M22 (F ) dened by a a+b b+c T b = a 2b 2c a + 2b + c c is injective but not surjective.
3. Let T : P2 (R) R3 be dened by T (p(x)) = (p(1), p(0), p(1)). Is T an isomorphism? Justify your answer.
4. Let T : V W be a linear transformation, and {v1 , v2 , . . . , vn } a basis for V . Prove that if {T (v1 ), T (v2 ), . . . , T (vn )} is linearly independent then T is injective.
