Hello everyone, I'm confused on this problem:
It says:
A linear transformation T:R^3->R^2 whose matrix is
2 -4 -3
-3 6 0+k
is onto if k != ?
!= meaning, not equal.
So my thinking was, For it to be a transformation into R^2, doesn't that mean k isn't suppose mean that the column
-3
0+k
has to some how come out to be
0
0
so your only left with
2 -4
-3 6
so that would be in R^2 right?
i'm confused, am i thinking wrong? or is there some trick to easily find what k isn't suppose to be? Thanks!
