Matrix of a Linear Transformation Example

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on understanding the matrix representation of a linear transformation, specifically the coordinate isomorphism between different bases in linear algebra. The user struggles with the transformation results for the basis G, noting discrepancies when comparing outputs from the standard basis and the basis G. Key to resolving these issues is computing the matrix for the transformation, denoted as C_G, which allows for accurate comparisons of transformed vectors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Linear algebra concepts, specifically linear transformations
  • Matrix representation of transformations
  • Understanding of basis and coordinate systems
  • Familiarity with vector operations
NEXT STEPS
  • Compute the matrix representation of the linear transformation C_G

  • Practice examples of transforming vectors between different bases
  • Study the implications of basis changes on vector outputs
USEFUL FOR

Students of linear algebra, educators teaching linear transformations, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of coordinate systems and basis transformations.

Homework Statement


Hi this isn't really a question but more so understanding an example that was given to me that I not know how it came to it's conclusion. This is a question pertaining linear transformation for coordinate isomorphism between basis.

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure how it came to it's conclusion for the basis G, for example the vector [1,0,0] doesn't yield the same result as the standard basis, but gets [1,-2,2] instead even though it is a standard basis e1. I thought for [1,1,0] in G the result would be [1,1,2] but instead it's [-1,1,0]. I've tried working backwards from the solution but that hasn't helped. Can anyone help me understand this?[/B]

First thing, do you know how to compute the matrix representing ##C_G##?

Once you have the matrix for ##C_G##, you can compute (for example) ##C_G(T(1))=C_G\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\2 \end{pmatrix}## and see why it "doesn't yield the same result as the standard basis".
