Homework Statement



Verify the linear transformation & find the standard matrix A

T:R2->R2, T(x,y) = (x1+5,x2)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



so i have to verify addition and multiplication

T(u+v) = ((u1+v1)+5,(u2+v2)
Does this fail.. it seems i will never be able to have the five on both sides where it looks like this... (u1+5,u2)+(v1+5,v2)

Did i do this correctly

Yes. You have shown that it is not a linear transformation.
