By what factor does each transformation change the size of boxes?

  • (a)  (xy)↦(2x3y)\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\end{pmatrix}\mapsto\begin{pmatrix}2x\\ 3y\end{pmatrix}     (b)  (xy)↦(3x−y−2x+y)\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\end{pmatrix}\mapsto\begin{pmatrix}3x-y\\ -2x+y\end{pmatrix}     (c)  (xyz)↦(x−yx+y+zy−2z)\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\\ z\end{pmatrix}\mapsto\begin{pmatrix}x-y\\ x+y+z\\ y-2z\end{pmatrix}
