Answer:

The image of $\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]$ through T is $\left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $T:$ $IR^{2}$ → $IR^{2}$ is a linear transformation that maps $e_{1}$ into $y_{1}$ ⇒

$T(e_{1})=y_{1}$

And also maps $e_{2}$ into $y_{2}$ ⇒

$T(e_{2})=y_{2}$

We need to find the image of the vector $\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]$

We know that exists a matrix A from $IR^{2x2}$ (because of how T was defined) such that :

$T(x)=Ax$ for all x ∈ $IR^{2}$

We can find the matrix A by applying T to a base of the domain ( $IR^{2}$ ).

Notice that we have that data :

$B_{IR^{2}}=$ { $e_{1},e_{2}$ }

Being $B_{IR^{2}}$ the cannonic base of $IR^{2}$

The following step is to put the images from the vectors of the base into the columns of the new matrix A :

$T(\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{c}4&5\end{array}\right]$ (Data of the problem)

$T(\left[\begin{array}{c}0&1\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{c}-2&7\end{array}\right]$ (Data of the problem)

Writing the matrix A :

$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\5&7\\\end{array}\right]$

Now with the matrix A we can find the image of $\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\\\end{array}\right]$ such as :

$T(x)=Ax$ ⇒

$T(\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\5&7\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]$

We found out that the image of $\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]$ through T is the vector $\left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]$

A store sells a certain tile for $2 per tile and a pint of paint for $3. A second store sells the same items for $1 per tile and

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2 x plus 3 y equals 26. X plus 4 y equals 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of tiles, = x

Number of pints of paint, = y

Store 1:

Cost per tile = $2 ; cost per pint = $3 ; total cost = $26

Store 2 :

Cost per tile = $1 ; cost per pint = $4 ; total cost = $18

System of equation:

2x + 3y = 26 - - - (1)

x + 4y = 18 - - - - - (2)
