Exercise 10.1.1

Avg difficulty 3.0

Consider the following functions T:R3→R2T:\mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{2}. For each of these functions TT, show that it is not linear either by showing that TT does not preserve addition, or by showing that it does not preserve scalar multiplication, or by showing that it does not preserve the zero vector.

  1. T[xyz]=[x+2y+3z+12y−3x+z]T\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x+2y+3z+1\\ 2y-3x+z\end{array}\right].

  2. T[xyz]=[x+2y2+3z2y+3x+z]T\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x+2y^{2}+3z\\ 2y+3x+z\end{array}\right].

  3. T[xyz]=[sin⁡x+2y+3z2y+3x+z]T\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}\sin x+2y+3z\\ 2y+3x+z\end{array}\right].
