MHB Matrix Multiplication: Is A Solution Possible?

Click For Summary
To determine if a matrix A exists such that A multiplied by the vector (0, 1, 4) equals (1, 2, 3, 4), one must consider the dimensions of A. The matrix A must be a 4x3 matrix to accommodate the transformation from a 3-dimensional space to a 4-dimensional space. A possible solution involves defining a linear transformation T from R^3 to R^4, where specific mappings of the basis vectors yield the desired output. The matrix representation of this transformation can be constructed based on the defined mappings. The discussion concludes that finding such a matrix A is feasible through linear transformation concepts.

Hello

I have a question, I need to tell if there exist A such as:

A\cdot \begin{pmatrix} 0\\ 1\\ 4 \end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix} 1\\ 2\\ 3\\ 4 \end{pmatrix}

how do you approach this kind of questions ?

thanks !

You already know what size $A$ must be. What would that be?

Define a linear transformation $T:\mathbb{R}^3\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^4$ as $T(1,0,0)=(0,0,0,0), T(0,1,0)=(1,2,3,4), T(0,0,1)=(0,0,0,0)$. Find the matrix of $T$ with respect to the standard bases. That is one possible matrix for $A$.
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
