Homework Statement


Let T be the unique linear operator on C3 for which [tex]T_{\epsilon1}=(1,0,i), T_{\epsilon2}=(0,1,1), T_{\epsilon3}=(i,1,0).[/tex]
Is T invertible?
2. Homework Equations
If we show T is non singular or T is onto, then this would imply T is invertible.

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't really know where to start, I thought about trying to brute force solve the matrix T but I am quite sure there is a more elegant way and hoping someone can give me a kick in that direction.
