Fact A transformation T from R n to R m is<br />

l<strong>in</strong>ear iff<br />

a. T (v + w) = T (v) + T ( w), for all v, w <strong>in</strong> R n ,<br />

and<br />

b. T (kv) = kT (v), for all v <strong>in</strong> R n and all scalars<br />

k.<br />

Proof<br />

Idea: To prove the <strong>in</strong>verse, we must show a<br />

matrix A such that T (x) = Ax. <strong>Consider</strong> a<br />

transformation T from R n to R m that satisfy<br />

(a) and (b), f<strong>in</strong>d A.<br />
