TRUE OR FALSE?
For every transition matrix A there exists a nonzero vector such that.
In the example about the French coast guard in this section, suppose you are a spy watching the boat and listening in on the radio messages from the boat. You collect the following data:
•When the actual position is ,they radio .
•When the actual position is ,they radio .
Can you crack their code (i.e., find the coding matrix), assuming that the code is linear?
Consider the circular face in the accompanying figure. For each of the matrices A in Exercises 24 through 30, draw a sketch showing the effect of the linear transformation on this face.

Give a geometric interpretation of the linear transformations defined by the matrices in Exercisesthrough . Show the effect of these transformations on the letter considered in Example. In each case, decide whether the transformation is invertible. Find the inverse if it exists, and interpret it geometrically. See Exercise
