Consider a linear transformation Tfrom to . Suppose thatand are two arbitrary vectors in and thatis a third vector whose endpoint is on the line segment connecting the endpoints ofand . Is the endpoint of the vectornecessarily on the line segment connecting the endpoints ofand ? Justify your answer.

Use the concept of a linear transformation in terms of the formula , and interpret simple linear transformations geometrically. Find the inverse of a linear transformation from localid="1659964769815" to (if it exists). Find the matrix of a linear transformation column by column.
Consider the transformations fromdefined in Exercises 1 through 3. Which of these transformations are linear?
There exists a positive integer n such that .
Some parking meters in downtown Geneva, Switzerland, acceptFranc and Franc coins.
a. A parking officer collects coins worth Francs. How many coins are there of each kind?
b. Find the matrixthat transforms the vector
into the vector
c. Is the matrixin part (b) invertible? If so, find the inverse (use Exercise 13). Use the result to check your answer in part (a).
