Exercise 6.7.17

Answers

1.
We calculate (UT) and U, T separately. First we have
UT(x1,x2) = U(x1,0) = (x1,0) = T.

So we compute T directly. We have N(T) is the y-axis. So N(T) is the x-axis. Since we have

T(1,0) = (1,0),

we know that

T(1,0) = (1,0)

and

T(0,1) = (0,0).

Hence we have

(UT)(x 1,x2) = T(x 1,x2) = x1T(1,0) + x 2T(0,1) = x 1T(1,0) = (x 1,0).

On the other hand, we also have N(U) is the line span {(1,1)}. So N(U) is the line span {(1,1)}. Since we have

U(1,1) = (2,0),

we know that

U(1,0) = 1 2(1,1)

and

U(0,1) = (0,0).

Hence we have

U(x 1,x2) = x1U(1,0) + x 2U(0,1) = (x1 2 , x1 2 ).

Finally we have

TU(x 1,x2) = T(x1 2 , x1 2 ) = (x1 2 ,0)(UT)(x 1,x2).

Let A = (11 0 0 ) and B = (10 0 0 ). By the previous argument, we have A = (1 20 1 20 ) and B = B. Also, we have AB = B and so (AB) = B = B.
