Question

(a) Prove that for every n n matrix B, there exists a linear transformation T : V --> V such that

(b) Let L(V, V ) be the vector space consisting of all linear transformations from V to V . Use part (a) to prove that L(V, V ) is isomorphic to Rnn.

Let V be a vector space and beta -matrix of T and prove that the transformation is unique. (b) Let L(V, V ) be the vector space consisting of all linear transformations from V to V . Use part (a) to prove that L(V, V ) is isomorphic to Rn½n. beta = (f1,...,fn) be a basis of V. (a) Prove that for every n ½ n matrix B, there exists a linear transformation T : V --> V such that B is the

Explanation / Answer

Beta = (f1,f2,...fn) is a basis of V

Consider any nxn matrix B with {bij}

f1 = b1b11+b2b13+b3b13+...

...

Thus f1, f2 ... can be represented as a linear tranformation uniquely.

Thus there exist a T: V to V such that B is the Beta matrix of T and the transformation is unique.

b)Consider set of all linear transformations

L(V,V)

Let L(V,V) be mapped to the Beta matrix nxx

Then the mapping is isomorphic

Hence L(V,V) is ismorphic to Rnxn
