SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the 2x2 matrix associated with the linear map defined by the function f(x) = a(x). The specific mappings provided are f(1,0) = (3,-1) and f(1,1) = (2,2). Participants confirmed that the resulting matrix is [[3, -1], [-1, 3]], validating the calculations presented.

1. An associated 2x2 matriax is defined by the function

f(1,0) = (3,-1)
f(1,1) = (2,2)

Find the matrix




2. f(x) = a(x)





3. I have no clue where to start
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ok i was trying it and i think i got it

i get


[3 -1]
[-1 3]

can someone else try it and tell me if they got that too..
 
That is correct.
