(a)T (x1 , x2 ) = (1 + x1 , x2 )
(b)T (x1 , x2 ) = (x2 , x1 )
(c)T (x1 , x2 ) = (x21 , x2 )
(d)T (x1 , x2 ) = (sin(x1 ), x2 )
(e)T (x1 , x2 ) = (x1 x1 , 0)
(2) Let T be a linear transformation on R3 defined by
T (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = (3x1 , x1 x2 , 2x1 + x2 + x3 )
Is T invertible ? If so find a rule for T 1 .

respectively.
(b) What is the matrix of T relative to the ordered basis in B = {u1 , u2 , u3 } in R3
and B 0 = {v1 , v2 } in R3 where
u1 = (1, 0, 1), u2 = (1, 1, 1), u3 = (1, 0, 0) and v1 = (0, 1), v2 = (1, 0).
