ok this is my overleaf homework page but did not do (c) and (d)
this class is over but trying to do some stuff I missed.
I am only auditing so I may sit in again next year...;)
also if you see typos much grateful

I don't see a lot of replies on these DE questions so maybe there isn't an army of eager help?

Look at what linear transformation $T\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y \\ z\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}x- y \\ y- z\\ 2x+ 3y- 3z\end{bmatrix}$ does to each basis vector in $\alpha$:
$T\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}1- 0 \\ 0- 0\\ 2+ 0- 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0\\ 2\end{bmatrix}$.
$T\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ 1 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0- 1 \\ 1- 0\\ 0+ 3- 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}-1 \\ 1\\ 3\end{bmatrix}$.

$T\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ 0 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0- 0 \\ 0- 1\\ 0+ 0- 3\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -1\\ -3\end{bmatrix}$.

Those vectors will be the columns of the matrix representing T in this basis.
 
So $[T]_\beta^\beta$ would be the product of
$$\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0\\ 2\end{bmatrix}
\cdot \begin{bmatrix}-1 \\ 1\\ 3\end{bmatrix}
\cdot \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -1\\ -3\end{bmatrix}$$
?
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
