2.1 Day 2 Linear Transformations and their Inverses

For an animation of this topic visit:http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/misc/don_trans/don_trans.html

Multiply the coordinates of the light blue dog by A to get the dark blue dog

A=

Note: view each coordinate separately as the equation Ax=bIf the coordinates (of the dog) are put together to make a matrix, the equation takes Form AB= C

Example

To encode the position of the dog on the previous slide multiply each coordinate of the dog by the matrix in the form Ax = b

(A is the matrix)

x is a vertical vector with components of the coordinates of the dog.

b is the new coordinate.

This is called a transformation matrix

Example

If we want to start with the dark blue dog and end with the light blue dog we will need to multiply the coordinates of the dark blue dog by a matrix. This matrix is called the inverse of Matrix A.

We learned how to compute an inverse yesterday.

Find the inverse

What if we had multiplied the coordinates of the dog by the following matrix

What would the inverse be?

What would the transformation look like? (answer on next slide)

The graphWhat would the inverse of this matrix be? Why?

Problem 13 a

Prove that for the given matrix, it is invertible if and only if the determinant is not = 0

Hint prove the case of a = 0 and

separately

Linear Transformations

This represents a transformation from R3 to R

Linear transformations

If there is a n nxm matrix A such that

T(x) = A(x)For all x in

Problem 2

Is this transformation linear?

What is the matrix of transformation?

How could this transformation be changed to make it non-linear?

Problem 2 Solution

Possible solution to make system non-linear

y1 = x1y2 (is non-linear due to multiplication of variables)

y2 = x2 +1 (is non-linear due to adding a constant (note: this is different from other courses you have taken)y3= (x1)2 (non-linear due to an exponent)

If any one of these is non-linear than the entire expression is non-linear

Problem 16

Describe the transformation.

And the inverse of the transformation

Note: when you do your homework keep a record of each type of transformation

Problem 16 Solution

Rectangular matrices

A 3 x 3 matrix represents a transformation from R3 to R3

What kind of transformation does a 2 x 3 matrix represent?

What kind of transformation does an mxn matrix represent?

Rectangular matrices

A 3 x 3 matrix represents a transformation from R3 to R3

What kind of transformation does a 2 x 3 matrix represent? R3 to R2

What kind of transformation does an mxn matrix represent? Rn to Rm
