Chapter 1: Q29E (page 1)

Define \({\bf{f}}:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) by \({\bf{f}}\left( {\bf{x}} \right) = {\bf{mx}} + {\bf{b}}\).

  1. Show that \({\bf{f}}\) is a linear transformation when \({\bf{b}} = {\bf{0}}\).
  2. Find a property of a linear transformation that is violated when \({\bf{b}} \ne {\bf{0}}\).
  3. Why is \({\bf{f}}\) called a linear function?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. \(f\)is a linear transformation when \(b = 0\).
  2. Both properties \(f\left( {x + y} \right) = f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right)\) and \(f\left( {cw} \right) = cf\left( w \right)\) are violated when \(b \ne 0\).
  3. In calculus, \(f\left( x \right) = mx + b\) is called a linear function.

Step by step solution

01

Check the properties of a linear transformation

(a)

Given, \(f\left( x \right) = mx + b\)

For the (i) property, let \(x,y \in \mathbb{R}\). Then

\(\begin{aligned} f\left( {x + y} \right) &= m\left( {x + y} \right) + b\\ &= mx + my + b\end{aligned}\)

And

\(\begin{aligned} f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right) &= mx + b + my + b\\ &= mx + my + 2b\end{aligned}\)

This implies \(f\left( {x + y} \right) = f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right)\) when \(b = 0\).

For the (ii) property, let \(c,w \in \mathbb{R}\). Then

\(\begin{aligned}{c}f\left( {cw} \right) &= m\left( {cw} \right) + b\\ &= c\left( {mw} \right) + b\end{aligned}\)

And

\(\begin{array}{c}cf\left( x \right) = c\left( {mw + b} \right)\\ = c\left( {mw} \right) + cb\end{array}\)

This implies \(f\left( {cw} \right) = cf\left( w \right)\) when \(b = 0\).

Thus, \(f\) is a linear transformation when \(b = 0\).

02

Provide the property of a linear transformation that is violated when \({\bf{b}} \ne {\bf{0}}\)

(b)

From part (a), \(mx + my + b \ne mx + my + 2b\) when \(b \ne 0\). That is, \(f\left( {x + y} \right) \ne f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right)\) when \(b \ne 0\).

Also, \(c\left( {mw} \right) + b \ne c\left( {mw} \right) + cb\) when \(b \ne 0\). That is, \(f\left( {cw} \right) \ne cf\left( w \right)\) when \(b \ne 0\).

Hence, both properties \(f\left( {x + y} \right) = f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right)\) and \(f\left( {cw} \right) = cf\left( w \right)\) are violated when \(b \ne 0\).

03

Use the fact of a straight line

(c)

In calculus, we know that a straight line is a linear function. It is a polynomial of degree 1. Therefore, the given function is called a linear function.

Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^n}\) be an invertible linear transformation, and let Sand U be functions from \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) such that \(S\left( {T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)} \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) and \(\)\(U\left( {T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)} \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) for all x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Show that \(U\left( v \right) = S\left( v \right)\) for all v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). This will show that Thas a unique inverse, as asserted in theorem 9. (Hint: Given any v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), we can write \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} = T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)\) for some x. Why? Compute \(S\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\) and \(U\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\)).

Suppose \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}\) are distinct points on one line in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\). The line need not pass through the origin. Show that \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2},{{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _3}} \right\}\) is linearly dependent.

In Exercises 9, write a vector equation that is equivalent to

the given system of equations.

9. \({x_2} + 5{x_3} = 0\)

\(\begin{array}{c}4{x_1} + 6{x_2} - {x_3} = 0\\ - {x_1} + 3{x_2} - 8{x_3} = 0\end{array}\)

In Exercises 15 and 16, list five vectors in Span \(\left\{ {{v_1},{v_2}} \right\}\). For each vector, show the weights on \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}\) used to generate the vector and list the three entries of the vector. Do not make a sketch.

16. \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}3\\0\\2\end{array}} \right],{v_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\0\\3\end{array}} \right]\)

In Exercises 23 and 24, key statements from this section are either quoted directly, restated slightly (but still true), or altered in some way that makes them false in some cases. Mark each statement True or False, and justify your answer. (If true, give the approximate location where a similar statement appears, or refer to a de铿乶ition or theorem. If false, give the location of a statement that has been quoted or used incorrectly, or cite an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases.) Similar true/false questions will appear in many sections of the text.

a. Every elementary row operation is reversible.

b. A \(5 \times 6\)matrix has six rows.

c. The solution set of a linear system involving variables \({x_1},\,{x_2},\,{x_3},........,{x_n}\)is a list of numbers \(\left( {{s_1},\, {s_2},\,{s_3},........,{s_n}} \right)\) that makes each equation in the system a true statement when the values \ ({s_1},\, {s_2},\, {s_3},........,{s_n}\) are substituted for \({x_1},\,{x_2},\,{x_3},........,{x_n}\), respectively.

d. Two fundamental questions about a linear system involve existence and uniqueness.
