Work Step by Step

Put $T: \mathbb{R}^{n} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{m}$ be a linear transformation such that $T(\mathbf{x})=B \mathbf{x}$ for some $m \times n$ matrix. Goal Verify the uniqueness of $A$ in Theorem 10 Concepts Theorem 10 Standard Matrix Plan Show that if $A$ is the standard matrix for $T,$ then \[ A=B \] Show that $A$ and $B$ have the same columns. Solve Define $\mathrm{T}: \mathbb{R}^{n} \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{m}$ by $T(\mathrm{x})=B \mathrm{x}$ for some $m \times n$ matrix $\mathrm{B},$ and put $A$ be the standard matrix for $T$. By definition, $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}T\left(\mathbf{e}_{1}\right) & \ldots & T\left(\mathbf{e}_{j}\right)\end{array}\right]$ where $\mathbf{e}_{j}$ is the $j$ th column of $I_{n}$ \[ \text { By matrix-vector multiplication, } T\left(\mathbf{e}_{j}\right)=B \mathbf{e}_{j}=b_{j} \] the $j$ th column of $B .$ So $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}\mathbf{b}_{1} & \ldots & \mathbf{b}_{2}\end{array}\right]=B$ Conclusion Matrix $A$ is unique.
