Let \(A\) and \(B\) be matrices for which the product matrix \(A B\) is defined, and let \(u_{j}\) and \(v_{j}\) denote the \(j\) th columns of \(A B\) and \(B\), respectively. If \(v_{p}=c_{1} v_{j_{1}}+c_{2} v_{j_{2}}+\cdots+c_{k} v_{j_{k}}\) for some scalars \(c_{1}, c_{2}, \ldots c_{k}\), prove that \(u_{p}=c_{1} u_{j_{1}}+c_{2} u_{j_{2}}+\cdots+c_{k} u_{j_{k}} .\) Visit goo.gl/sRpves for a solution.
Let \(\beta=\left\\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{n}\right\\}\) be a basis for a vector space \(\mathrm{V}\) and \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{V}\) be a linear transformation. Prove that \([\mathrm{T}]_{\beta}\) is upper triangular if and only if \(\mathrm{T}\left(v_{j}\right) \in \operatorname{span}\left(\left\\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{j}\right\\}\right)\) for \(j=1,2, \ldots, n\). Visit goo.gl/k9ZrQb for a solution.
Let \(\mathrm{V}\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field \(F\), and let \(\beta=\) \(\left\\{x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}\right\\}\) be an ordered basis for \(\mathrm{V}\). Let \(Q\) be an \(n \times n\) invertible matrix with entries from \(F\). Define $$ x_{j}^{\prime}=\sum_{i=1}^{n} Q_{i j} x_{i} \quad \text { for } 1 \leq j \leq n, $$ and set \(\beta^{\prime}=\left\\{x_{1}^{\prime}, x_{2}^{\prime}, \ldots, x_{n}^{\prime}\right\\} .\) Prove that \(\beta^{\prime}\) is a basis for \(\mathrm{V}\) and hence that \(Q\) is the change of coordinate matrix changing \(\beta^{\prime}\)-coordinates into \(\beta\)-coordinates.

Let \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{R}^{3} \rightarrow R\) be linear. Show that there exist scalars \(a, b\), and \(c\) such that \(\mathrm{T}(x, y, z)=a x+b y+c z\) for all \((x, y, z) \in \mathrm{R}^{3}\). Can you generalize this result for \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{F}^{n} \rightarrow F ?\) State and prove an analogous result for T: \(\mathrm{F}^{n} \rightarrow \mathrm{F}^{m}\).
Let \(V\) and \(W\) be vector spaces such that \(\operatorname{dim}(V)=\operatorname{dim}(W)\), and let \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{W}\) be linear. Show that there exist ordered bases \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\) for \(V\) and \(W\), respectively, such that \([T]_{\beta}^{\gamma}\) is a diagonal matrix.
