1: (a) Consider the linear operator F on R2 and the basis S = {u1 , u2 } = {(1, −2), (2, −5)}
where F : R2 −→ R2 is defined by F (x, y) = (2x + 3y, 4x − 5y), v = (5, −7) and
f (v) = (−11, 55). Show that [T ]s [v]s = [T (v)]s .
(b) State the contrast between eigen value and eigen vector.
4: (a) What do you understand by linear combination of the vectors in the basis S. Hence,
define the matrix representation of T relative to basis S.
(b) Let V be the vector space of function with basis S = {sint, cost, e3t } and
df (t)
D : V −→ v be the differential operator defined by D(f (t)) = dt
. Compute the
matrix representing D in the basis.
