Let \({\bf{u}}\) and \({\bf{v}}\) be linearly independent vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{3}}}\), and let \({\bf{P}}\) be the plane through \({\bf{u}}\),\({\bf{v}}\),and \({\bf{0}}\). The parametric equation of \({\bf{P}}\) is \({\bf{x}} = {\bf{su}} + {\bf{tv}}\) (with\({\bf{s}}\),\({\bf{t}}\) in \(\mathbb{R}\)). Show that a linear transformation \({\bf{T}}:{\mathbb{R}^{\bf{3}}} \to {\mathbb{R}^{\bf{3}}}\) maps \({\bf{P}}\) onto a plane through\({\bf{0}}\), or onto a line through\({\bf{0}}\), or onto just the origin in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{3}}}\). What must be true about \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{u}} \right)\) and \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{v}} \right)\) in order for the image of the plane \({\bf{P}}\) to be a plane?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The image of plane \(P\)must be a plane since \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) are linearly independent.

Step by step solution

01

Find the image of the given plane using the properties of a linear transformation

\(\begin{aligned} T\left( P \right) &= T\left( {su + tv} \right)\\ &= T\left( {su} \right) + T\left( {tv} \right)\\T\left( p \right) &= sT\left( u \right) + tT\left( v \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,s,t \in \mathbb{R}\end{aligned}\)

This implies \(T\left( P \right)\) is a set of all linear combinations of \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\).

02

Determine the image if \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{u}} \right)\) and \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{v}} \right)\) are linearly independent

Whenever \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) are linearly independent, they form a basis for \(T\left( P \right)\).

This implies \(T\left( P \right)\) is a plane through 0, \(T\left( u \right)\), and \(T\left( v \right)\).

03

Determine the image if \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{u}} \right)\) and \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{v}} \right)\) are linearly dependent

Suppose \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) are linearly dependent with \(T\left( u \right) = T\left( v \right) = 0\).

Then, \(T\left( P \right) = s \cdot 0 + t \cdot 0 = 0\). This implies \(T\left( P \right)\) is just the origin in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\).

Suppose both \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) are not zeros. Then, either \(T\left( P \right) = sT\left( u \right)\) or \(T\left( P \right) = t{\rm{T}}\left( v \right)\).

This implies \(T\left( P \right)\) is a straight line through \(0\).

04

Determine the fact about \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{u}} \right)\) and \({\bf{T}}\left( {\bf{v}} \right)\)

We know that \(T\left( P \right) = {\rm{Span}}\left\{ {T\left( u \right),T\left( v \right)} \right\}\).

Suppose \(au + bv = 0\) then \(a = b = 0\). Since \(u\) and \(v\) are linearly independent,

\(\begin{array}{c}T\left( {au + bv} \right) = T\left( 0 \right)\\T\left( {au} \right) + T\left( {bv} \right) = 0\\aT\left( u \right) + bT\left( v \right) = 0\end{array}\)

Here, \(a = b = 0\). This implies \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) are linearly independent.

Thus, \(T\left( u \right)\) and \(T\left( v \right)\) should be a basis for \(T\left( P \right)\). Hence, \(T\left( P \right)\) must be a plane.

In Exercises 3 and 4, display the following vectors using arrows

on an \(xy\)-graph: u, v, \( - {\bf{v}}\), \( - 2{\bf{v}}\), u + v , u - v, and u - 2v. Notice thatis the vertex of a parallelogram whose other vertices are u, 0, and \( - {\bf{v}}\).

3. u and v as in Exercise 1

Consider a dynamical system x→(t+1)=Ax→(t)with two components. The accompanying sketch shows the initial state vector x→0and two eigenvectors υ1→  and  υ2→of A (with eigen values λ1→andλ2→ respectively). For the given values of λ1→andλ2→, draw a rough trajectory. Consider the future and the past of the system.

λ1→=1.2,λ2→=1.1

In Exercise 23 and 24, make each statement True or False. Justify each answer.

a. Any list of five real numbers is a vector in \({\mathbb{R}^5}\).

b. The vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) results when a vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} - v\) is added to the vector \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).

c. The weights \({{\mathop{\rm c}\nolimits} _1},...,{c_p}\) in a linear combination \({c_1}{v_1} + \cdot \cdot \cdot + {c_p}{v_p}\) cannot all be zero.

d. When are \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) nonzero vectors, Span \(\left\{ {u,v} \right\}\) contains the line through \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) and the origin.

e. Asking whether the linear system corresponding to an augmented matrix \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{1}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{3}}}}&{\rm{b}}\end{array}} \right]\) has a solution amounts to asking whether \({\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) is in Span\(\left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\).

Suppose a linear transformation \(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^n}\) has the property that \(T\left( {\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \right) = T\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\) for some pair of distinct vectors u and v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Can Tmap \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) onto \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)? Why or why not?
