Pick an answer to each question: a wrong pick tells you why it is wrong, so you can try again.
In the previous examples, the transformation was given as A description, but the standard matrix was NOT given . M Therefore, the way to find the matrix (the B-Matrix – the T matrix of relative to basis) is by applying the following
Notes
The B-matrix of x ↦ Ax is [T]_B = P⁻¹AP where P has the basis vectors as columns. If B is an eigenvector basis, [T]_B is diagonal.
