6.1 Introduction to Linear Transformations A function T that maps a vector space V into a vector space W: : , , :vector spaces T V W V W mapping V: the domain ( ) of T W: the codomain ( ) of T Image of v under T ( T v ): If v is a vector in V and w is a vector in W such that = ( ) v w , T then w is called the image of v under T (For each v, there is only one w) The range of T (T ): The set of all images of vectors in V (see the figure on the next slide) 6.2
The preimage of w (w): The set of all v in V such that T(v)=w (For each w, v may not be unique) The graphical representations of the domain, codomain, and range For example, V is R3, W is R3, and T is the orthogonal projection of any vector (x, y, z) onto the xy-plane, i.e. T(x, y, z) = (x, y, 0) (we will use the above example many times to explain abstract notions) Then the domain is R3, the codomain is R3, and the range is xy-plane (a subspace of the codomian R3) (2, 1, 0) is the image of (2, 1, 3) The preimage of (2, 1, 0) is (2, 1, s), where s is any real number 6.3
Ex 1: A function from R2 into R2 ( ) , ( 2 1 v v v T = (a) Find the image of v=(-1,2) (b) Find the preimage of w=(-1,11) Sol: (a) ( 1, 2) ( ) ( 1, 2) ( 1 2, 1 2(2)) T T = = v (b) ( ) ( 1, 11) T = = v w ) 2 , ( ) , ( 2 1 2 1 2 1 + = v v v v v v T 1 2 1 = + v v 4 , 3 2 1 = = v v Thus {(3, 4)} is the preimage of w=(-1, 11) = 2 2 2 v : ( , ) T R R v v R 1 2 + , 2 ) v v v 1 2 1 2 = v + ( 3, 3) = = , 1 ( 11 ) = v v 2 11 1 2 6.4

Ex 7: Rotation in the plane Show that the L.T. given by the matrix : R T 2 2 R cos cos sin = A sin has the property that it rotates every vector in R2 counterclockwise about the origin through the angle Sol: (Polar coordinates: for every point on the xy- plane, it can be represented by a set of (r, )) y = = ( cos , sin ) r v ( , ) x y r r the length of v ( ) the angle from the positive x-axis counterclockwise to the vector v T(v) = + 2 2 x v 6.15
cos cos cos sin cos sin cos x r = = = v v ( ) T A sin sin sin sin y r cos cos sin r r = + sin cos cos sin r r according to the addition formula of trigonometric identities ( ) + cos( ) r = + sin( ) r r remain the same, that means the length of T(v) equals the length of v + the angle from the positive x-axis counterclockwise to the vector T(v) Thus, T(v) is the vector that results from rotating the vector v counterclockwise through the angle 6.16
Ex 8: A projection in R3 3 3 The linear transformation is given by = 0 0 : T R R 1 0 0 0 1 0 A 0 is called a projection in R3 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 x y z x y = = If is ( , , ), x y z A v v 0 In other words, T maps every vector in R3 to its orthogonal projection in the xy-plane, as shown in the right figure 6.17
Ex 9: The transpose function is a linear transformation from Mm n into Mn m : ( ) ( M T A A T = T ) M m n n m Show that T is a linear transformation Sol: M B A , + = + m n = + = + T T T ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) T A B A B A B T A T B = = = T T ( ) ( ) ( ) T cA cA cA cT A Therefore, T (the transpose function) is a linear transformation from Mm n into Mn m 6.18

6.2 The Kernel and Range of a Linear Transformation Kernel of a linear transformation T ( T ): Let be a linear transformation. Then the set of all vectors v in V that satisfy is called the kernel of T and is denoted by ker(T) : T V W v = ) 0 ( T = = v v 0 v ker( ) { | ( ) , } T T V For example, V is R3, W is R3, and T is the orthogonal projection of any vector (x, y, z) onto the xy-plane, i.e. T(x, y, z) = (x, y, 0) Then the kernel of T is the set consisting of (0, 0, s), where s is a real number, i.e. ker( ) {(0,0, )| is a real number} T s s = 6.20
Ex 1: Finding the kernel of a linear transformation = T ( ) ( : ) T A A T M M 3 2 2 3 Sol: 0 0 = ker(T ) 0 0 0 0 Ex 2: The kernel of the zero and identity transformations (a) If T(v) = 0 (the zero transformation ), then V T = ) ker( : T V W (b) If T(v) = v (the identity transformation ), then } { ) ker( 0 = T : T V V 6.21
Ex 5: Finding the kernel of a linear transformation x x x 1 1 1 2 = = 3 2 ( ) x x ( : ) T A T R R 2 1 2 3 3 = ker( ) ? T Sol: = = 3 ker( ) {( , x x x , )| ( , T x x x , ) (0,0), and ( , , ) } T x x x R 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 = ( , , ) ) 0 , 0 ( T x x x 1 2 3 x 2 1 1 1 2 0 = x 2 1 3 0 x 3 6.22

Theorem 6.3: The kernel is a subspace of V The kernel of a linear transformation is a subspace of the domain V Pf: : T V W 0 = u u ( Theorem by ( 0 v u v = ( ) T = cT ) ( ( ) 6. ) 1 ker( nonempty a is ) subset of V T T Let and + vectors be in the v ) ( = kernel 0 0 + of 0 Then . T + T is a linear transformation = = ) = T T + u v u v ( ker( ), ker( ) ker( )) T T T u u 0 0 ( ) T c c u u ( ker( ) ker( )) T c T Thus, ker( ) is a subspace of (according to Theorem 4.5 that a nonempty subset of is a subspace of if it is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication) T V V V 6.24

Corollary to Theorem 6.3: kernel = x = n m x = x Let : be the linear fransforma tion given by ( ) . T R R T A x 0 Then the of T is equal to the solution space of A n m ( ) x (a linear transformation : = = x ) T A T R R = x n n x ker( ) ( ) | 0, (subspace of ) T NS A A R R The kernel of T equals the nullspace of A (which is defined in Theorem 4.16 on p.239) and these two are both subspaces of Rn) So, the kernel of T is sometimes called the nullspace of T 6.27
Range of a linear transformation T (T): linear tra a be : Let W w nsformatio Then the n. set of all T V W vectors in T that images are of any vector T v s in is V called the range of denoted is and by = range ( ) | ) v range ( ) { ( } T T V For the orthogonal projection of any vector (x, y, z) onto the xy- plane, i.e. T(x, y, z) = (x, y, 0) The domain is V=R3, the codomain is W=R3, and the range is xy-plane (a subspace of the codomian R3) Since T(0, 0, s) = (0, 0, 0) = 0, the kernel of T is the set consisting of (0, 0, s), where s is a real number 6.28
Theorem 6.4: The range of T is a subspace of W The range Pf: linear tra a of nsformatio n : a is subspace of W T V W = ( ) 0 (Theorem 6.1) 0 T range T ( nonempty a is ) subset of W and ) u vectors are ) v because u v Since ( ( in range( ), and we have T T T + V Range of is closed under vector addition because ( ), ( ), ( T T T u v T + = + u v u T is a linear transformation v ( ) ( ) ( ) range ( ) T T T T + u v ) range( ) T = u u because c ( ) ( ) range u ( ) cT T c T Range of is closed under scalar multi- plication because ( ) and ( T u T u ) range( ) T c T V Thus, range( ) is a subspace of that a nonempty subset of under vector addition and scalar multiplication) (according to Theorem 4.5 is a subspace of T W if it is closed W W 6.29
Notes: : is a linear transformation T V W ) 1 ( ker( subspace is ) of T V (Theorem 6.3) ) 2 ( range ( subspace is ) of T W (Theorem 6.4) 6.30
Corollary to Theorem 6.4: = n m x x Let : be the linear tra nsformatio n given by ( ) . CS T R R T A = The (1) According to the definition of the range of T(x) = Ax, we know that the range of T consists of all vectors b satisfying Ax=b, which is equivalent to find all vectors b such that the system Ax=b is consistent (2) Ax=b can be rewritten as a a a a A x x = + + range of is T equal to the column space of range i.e. , A ( ) ( ) T A a a 11 12 1 n 21 22 2 n + = x b x 1 2 n a a a 1 2 m m mn Therefore, the system Ax=b is consistent iff we can find (x1, x2, , xn) such that b is a linear combination of the column vectors of A, i.e. Thus, we can conclude that the range consists of all vectors b, which is a linear combination of the column vectors of A or said . So, the column space of the matrix A is the same as the range of T, i.e. range(T) = CS(A) b ( ) CS A b ( ) CS A 6.31
Use our example to illustrate the corollary to Theorem 6.4: For the orthogonal projection of any vector (x, y, z) onto the xy- plane, i.e. T(x, y, z) = (x, y, 0) According to the above analysis, we already knew that the range of T is the xy-plane, i.e. range(T)={(x, y, 0)| x and y are real numbers} T can be defined by a matrix A as follows 1 0 0 0 1 0 , such that 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 x y z x y = = A 0 0 The column space of A is as follows, which is just the xy-plane 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 x x 1 = + + = ( ) , where , CS A x x x x x R 1 2 3 2 1 2 0 6.32

Rank of a linear transformation T:VW (T): rank( ) the dimension of the range of T = = dim(range( )) T T According to the corollary to Thm. 6.4, range(T) = CS(A), so dim(range(T)) = dim(CS(A)) Nullity of a linear transformation T:V W ( T ): nullity( ) the dimension of the kernel of T = = dim(ker( )) T T According to the corollary to Thm. 6.3, ker(T) = NS(A), so dim(ker(T)) = dim(NS(A)) Note: = n m x , then x If : is a linear transformation given by ( ) dim(range( )) dim( dim(ker ity( ) ( )) T T = = T R R T T A = = = = rank( ) null ( )) ( ) A rank( ) nullity T CS A NS A dim( ) ( ) A The dimension of the row (or column) space of a matrix A is called the rank of A The dimension of the nullspace of A ( ) is called the nullity of A = = x x ( ) { | NS A 0} A 6.35
Theorem 6.5: Sum of rank and nullity Let T: V W be a linear transformation from an n-dimensional vector space V (i.e. the dim(domain of T) is n) into a vector space W. Then + = rank( ) + n ullity ( ) T T n = (i.e. dim(range of ) dim(kernel of ) T dim(domain o f )) T T You can image that the dim(domain of T) should equals the dim(range of T) originally But some dimensions of the domain of T is absorbed by the zero vector in W So the dim(range of T) is smaller than the dim(domain of T) by the number of how many dimensions of the domain of T are absorbed by the zero vector, which is exactly the dim(kernel of T) 6.36

In the next section, we will prove that any linear transformation from an n-dimensional space to an m-dimensional space can be represented by m n matrix 6.37

One-to-one (): A function : every in the range consists of a single vector. This is equivalent to saying that is one-to-one iff for all and in , ( ) implies that = u v is called one-to-one if the preimage of T V W w = u v u ( ) v T V T T one-to-one not one-to-one 6.40
Theorem 6.6: One-to-one linear transformation Let : is one-to-one iff ker( ) { } T be a linear transformation.

Ex 10: One-to-one and not one-to-one linear transformation = T (a) The linear transformation : is one-to-one because its kernel consists of only the m n zero matrix given by ( ) T M M T A A m n n m 3 3 (b) The zero transformation : is not one-to-one T R R because its kernel is all of R3 6.42
Onto (): function A W : is said V onto be to if every element T V W in preimage a has in (T is onto W when W is equal to the range of T) Theorem 6.7: Onto linear transformations Let T: V W be a linear transformation, where W is finite dimensional. Then T is onto if and only if the rank of T is equal to the dimension of W = = rank ( ) dim( range of ) dim( ) T T W The definition of onto linear transformations The definition of the rank of a linear transformation 6.43

Since is a basis for V, {w1, w2,wn} is linearly independent, and the only solution for w=0 is c1=c2= =cn=0 So with w=0, the corresponding v is 0, i.e., ker(T) = {0} ' B T is one - to - one By Theorem 6.5, we can derive that dim(range of T) = dim(domain of T) dim(ker(T)) = n 0 = n = dim(W) T is onto Since this linear transformation is both one-to-one and onto, then V and W are isomorphic 6.48
