Exercise 10.3.2

Avg difficulty 3.0

Let vectors v1,…,vn∈Rn\mathbf{v}_{1},\ldots,\mathbf{v}_{n}\in\mathbb{R}^{n} and w1,…,wn∈Rm\mathbf{w}_{1},\ldots,\mathbf{w}_{n}\in\mathbb{R}^{m} be given. Let AA be the matrix whose columns are v1,…,vn\mathbf{v}_{1},\ldots,\mathbf{v}_{n}, and assume that A−1A^{-1} exists. Show that there exists a linear transformation TT such that T(vi)=wiT(\mathbf{v}_{i})=\mathbf{w}_{i} for i=1,…,ni=1,\ldots,n.
