Exercise 22

Avg difficulty 3.0

Let V,W,XV,W,X be vector spaces with bases B,C,DB,C,D.

  • Suppose that h ⁣:V→Wh\colon V\to W is represented with respect to B,CB,C by the matrix HH. Give the matrix representing the scalar multiple rhrh (where r∈Rr\in\mathbb{R}) with respect to B,CB,C by expressing it in terms of HH.

  • Suppose that h,g ⁣:V→Wh,g\colon V\to W are represented with respect to B,CB,C by HH and GG. Give the matrix representing h+gh+g with respect to B,CB,C by expressing it in terms of HH and GG.

  • Suppose that h ⁣:V→Wh\colon V\to W is represented with respect to B,CB,C by HH and g ⁣:W→Xg\colon W\to X is represented with respect to C,DC,D by GG. Give the matrix representing g∘hg\mathbin{\circ}h with respect to B,DB,D by expressing it in terms of HH and GG.
