Assignment-2
Instructor: Dr. Muslim Malik

1. Find the standard matrix for the linear operator T : R3 → R3 that first rotates a vector counterclockwise
about the z-axis through an angle θ, then reflects the resulting vector about the yz-plane, and then projects
that vector orthogonally onto the xy-plane.

2. Describe the kernel and range of a linear operator T : R3 → R3 .

(a) T is the orthogonal projection on the xz-plane,


(b) T is reflection through the xz-plane
(c) T is the orthogonal projection on the yz-plane,
(d) T is the orthogonal projection on the plane defined by the equation y = x.

3. Let l be the line in the xy-plane that passes through the origin and makes an angle θ with the positive
x-axis, where 0 ≤ θ < π. Let T : R2 → R2 be the linear operator that maps each vector into its reflection
about the line l.

(a) Find the standard matrix for T .


(b) Find the reflection of the vector x = (1, 2) about the line l through the origin that makes an angle
of θ = π6 with the positive x-axis.

c d

and
T2 (a + bx) = (a, b, a)

(a) Find the formula for T2 ◦ T1 .


(b) Show that T2 ◦ T1 is not one-to-one by finding distinct 2 × 2 matrices A and B such that

(T2 ◦ T1 )(A) = (T2 ◦ T1 )(B).

(c) Show that T2 ◦ T1 is not onto by finding a vector (a, b, c) in R3 that is not in the range of T2 ◦ T1 .

6. Let T : P2 → R3 be the linear transformation defined by T (P (x)) = (P (−1), P (0), P (1)), find T (x2 ),
rank and nullity of T.
