1 2 3 1 3 1 2 3
( , , ) ( ,0, ), ( , , ) T x x x x x x x x R ? ? ?  
Check whether T is linear or not.

Value Addition: Remember 
Note: a mapping :

T R R ? is linear if it "preserves" the two basic 
operations of a vector space, 
(i) vector addition, i.e., ( ) ( ) ( ), , ( ), ( )

Example 1:  consider the mapping

: T R R ? be defined as  
  
3
1 2 3 1 3 1 2 3
( , , ) ( ,0, ), ( , , ) T x x x x x x x x R ? ? ?  
Check whether T is linear or not.

By definition of T, we have

Thus T satisfies both the axioms therefore T is a linear transformation. 
Value Addition: Note 
Axiom (i) say that the result T(X + Y) of first adding X and Y in

Alternative method: instead of satisfying the two axioms, we will satisfy 
the single axiom, i.e., for all ,, a b R ? we have

Thus, we have ( ) ( ) ( ) T aX bY aT X bT Y ? ? ?  
Hence, T is a linear transformation. 
Value Addition: Do you know? 
Every linear transformation maps the zero vector of 
n

FAQs on Lecture 7 - Linear Transformations - Algebra- Engineering Maths - Engineering Mathematics

1. What is a linear transformation in engineering mathematics?
Ans. In engineering mathematics, a linear transformation refers to a function that maps vectors from one vector space to another in a way that preserves the linear structure. It follows the properties of linearity, such as preserving addition and scalar multiplication.
2. How are linear transformations represented mathematically?
Ans. Linear transformations in engineering mathematics are often represented using matrices. Each column of the matrix represents the image of the corresponding basis vector under the transformation. The matrix multiplication of the transformation matrix with a vector gives the resulting transformed vector.
3. What are the applications of linear transformations in engineering?
Ans. Linear transformations have various applications in engineering. Some examples include image and signal processing, control systems, electrical circuit analysis, and computer graphics. They are used to model and analyze systems, perform transformations on data, and solve engineering problems.
4. Can a linear transformation change the dimension of a vector space?
Ans. No, a linear transformation cannot change the dimension of a vector space. The dimension of the vector space remains the same before and after the transformation. However, the linear transformation may map vectors from higher-dimensional spaces to lower-dimensional spaces.
5. How can we determine if a transformation is linear or not?
Ans. To determine if a transformation is linear, we need to check two properties: preservation of addition and preservation of scalar multiplication. If the transformation satisfies these properties, it is linear. Mathematically, a transformation T is linear if T(u + v) = T(u) + T(v) and T(cu) = cT(u), where u and v are vectors and c is a scalar.
