Suppose \(P\) is the change-of-basis matrix from a basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\) to a basis \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\},\) and suppose \(Q\) is the change-of-basis matrix from the basis \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\) back to \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\} .\) Prove that \(P\) is invertible and that \(Q=P^{-1}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
Since the matrix product \(PQ = I\), where \(I\) is the identity matrix, we can conclude that the change-of-basis matrix \(P\) is invertible and its inverse is the change-of-basis matrix \(Q\), i.e., \(Q = P^{-1}\).

Step by step solution

01

Define the change-of-basis matrices

Given the change-of-basis matrix \(P\) from the basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\) to the basis \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\), we can represent the vectors in the basis \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\) in terms of \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\) as: \[w_{i} = P u_{i}\] Similarly, given the change-of-basis matrix \(Q\) from the basis \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\) to the basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\), we can represent the vectors in the basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\) in terms of \(\left\\{w_{i}\right\\}\) as: \[u_{i} = Q w_{i}\]
02

Consider the product of matrices P and Q

Consider the product of the two matrices \(P\) and \(Q\). To find the result of this product, we will multiply each \(w_{i}\) by \(Q\): \[(PQ)u_{i} = Q(Pu_{i})\] Since \(Pu_{i} = w_{i}\), we have: \[(PQ)u_{i} = Qw_{i}\]
03

Relate the product PQ to the identity matrix

Since \(Qw_{i} = u_{i}\), the result of \((PQ)u_{i}\) is the original vector \(u_{i}\). Thus, the transformation \(PQ\) applied to any vector in the basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\) will give back the original vector. Therefore, the matrix product \(PQ\) is equivalent to the identity matrix for the basis \(\left\\{u_{i}\right\\}\): \[PQ = I\]
04

Prove that P is invertible and Q is its inverse

Since the matrix product \(PQ\) resulted in the identity matrix, we can conclude that the matrix \(P\) is invertible and its inverse is the matrix \(Q\), i.e., \(Q = P^{-1}\). In conclusion, the change-of-basis matrix \(P\) is invertible and its inverse is the change-of-basis matrix \(Q\).

Let \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 1 \\ 2 & -3\end{array}\right]\) and \(P=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & -2 \\ 3 & -5\end{array}\right]\).

Let \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}4 & -2 \\ 3 & 6\end{array}\right]\) and \(P=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4\end{array}\right]\).

Find the change-of-basis matrix \(P\) from the usual basis \(E\) of \(\mathbf{R}^{3}\) to a basis \(S\), the change-of-basis matrix \(Q\) from \(S\) back to \(E,\) and the coordinates of \(v=(a, b, c)\) relative to \(S,\) where \(S\) consists of the vectors: (a) \(u_{1}=(1,1,0), u_{2}=(0,1,2), u_{3}=(0,1,1)\). (b) \(u_{1}=(1,0,1), u_{2}=(1,1,2), u_{3}=(1,2,4)\). (c) \(u_{1}=(1,2,1), u_{2}=(1,3,4), u_{3}=(2,5,6)\).

Prove Theorem 6.1: Let \(T: V \rightarrow V\) be a linear operator, and let \(S\) be a (finite) basis of \(V\). Then, for any vector \(v\) in \(V,[T]_{S}[v]_{S}=[T(v)]_{S}\) Suppose \(S=\left\\{u_{1}, u_{2}, \ldots, u_{n}\right\\},\) and suppose, for \(i=1, \ldots, n\) \\[ T\left(u_{i}\right)=a_{i 1} u_{1}+a_{i 2} u_{2}+\cdots+a_{i n} u_{n}=\sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{i j} u_{j} \\] Then \([T]_{S}\) is the \(n\) -square matrix whose \(j\) th row is \\[ \left(a_{1 j}, a_{2 j}, \ldots, a_{n j}\right) \\] Now suppose \\[ v=k_{1} u_{1}+k_{2} u_{2}+\cdots+k_{n} u_{n}=\sum_{i=1}^{n} k_{i} u_{i} \\] Writing a column vector as the transpose of a row vector, we have \\[ [v]_{S}=\left[k_{1}, k_{2}, \ldots, k_{n}\right]^{T} \\] Furthermore, using the linearity of \(T\) \\[ \begin{aligned} T(v) &=T\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} k_{i} u_{i}\right)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} k_{i} T\left(u_{i}\right)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} k_{i}\left(\sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{i j} u_{j}\right) \\ &=\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i j} k_{i}\right) u_{j}=\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left(a_{1 j} k_{1}+a_{2 j} k_{2}+\cdots+a_{n j} k_{n}\right) u_{j} \end{aligned} \\] Thus, \([T(v)]_{S}\) is the column vector whose \(j\) th entry is \\[ a_{1 j} k_{1}+a_{2 j} k_{2}+\dots+a_{n j} k_{n} \\] On the other hand, the \(j\) th entry of \([T]_{S}[v]_{S}\) is obtained by multiplying the \(j\) th row of \([T]_{S}\) by \([v]_{S}-\) that is (1) by \((2) .\) But the product of (1) and (2) is \((3) .\) Hence, \([T]_{S}[v]_{S}\) and \([T(v)]_{S}\) have the same entries. Thus, \([T]_{S}[v]_{S}=[T(v)]_{S}\).

Find the matrix representation of each of the following linear operators \(F\) on \(\mathbf{R}^{3}\) relative to the usual basis \(E=\left\\{e_{1}, e_{2}, e_{3}\right\\}\) of \(\mathbf{R}^{3} ;\) that is, find \([F]=[F]_{E}\) (a) \(F\) defined by \(F(x, y, z)=(x+2 y-3 z, 4 x-5 y-6 z, 7 x+8 y+9 z)\) (b) \(F\) defined by the \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 5 & 5 & 5\end{array}\right]\) (c) \(F\) defined by \(F\left(e_{1}\right)=(1,3,5), F\left(e_{2}\right)=(2,4,6), F\left(e_{3}\right)=(7,7,7) .\) (Theorem 5.2 states that a linear map is completely defined by its action on the vectors in a basis.) (a) Because \(E\) is the usual basis, simply write the coefficients of the components of \(F(x, y, z)\) as rows: \\[ [F]=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 4 & -5 & -6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{array}\right] \\] (b) Because \(E\) is the usual basis, \([F]=A\), the matrix \(A\) itself. (c) Here \\[ \begin{array}{llll} F\left(e_{1}\right)=(1,3,5)=e_{1}+3 e_{2}+5 e_{3} & & & {\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 7 \\ 3 & 4 & 7 \\ 5 & 6 & 7 \end{array}\right]} \end{array} \\] That is, the columns of \([F]\) are the images of the usual basis vectors.
