Sep 12	comment	A linear transformation $T$ is defined by $T(x_1, x_2)$ Find the image of the line that passes through the origin and point $(1,-1)$ Ok, would you say that Hagen is correct?
Sep 12	comment	A linear transformation $T$ is defined by $T(x_1, x_2)$ Find the image of the line that passes through the origin and point $(1,-1)$ Rather, I don't see why you combine $x_1$ and $x_2$ into t.
Sep 12	comment	A linear transformation $T$ is defined by $T(x_1, x_2)$ Find the image of the line that passes through the origin and point $(1,-1)$ I think my study guide is looking for a more specific answer...
Sep 12	comment	A linear transformation $T$ is defined by $T(x_1, x_2)$ Find the image of the line that passes through the origin and point $(1,-1)$ What about the use of a matrix? How would I set this up?

Sep 12	comment	A linear transformation $T$ is defined by $T(x_1, x_2)$ Find the image of the line that passes through the origin and point $(1,-1)$ Where did you get -3t, 3t, and 3t from?

Sep 12	comment	Show that the transformation T defined by $T(x_1, x_2)\; = \;… $ is NOT linear. Okay, fixed it.
Sep 12	comment	Show that the transformation T defined by $T(x_1, x_2)\; = \;… $ is NOT linear. Yay! Thank you.
Sep 12	comment	Show that the transformation T defined by $T(x_1, x_2)\; = \;… $ is NOT linear. Would this proof also be correct? T(4+1, 2+2) = T(5, 4) = (17, 25); and T((4, 2)) + T((1, 2)) = (12, 14) + (-3, 8) = (9, 22); proof: (17, 25) != (9, 22)

Sep 12	comment	Show that the transformation T defined by $T(x_1, x_2)\; = \;… $ is NOT linear. I think T(4, 2) would actually be (12, 14), but your point still holds.

Sep 12	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? Oh I see now. That makes much more sense, thank you!
Sep 12	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? @EuYu I feel like I'm missing the obvious. I don't see how to prove that they are NOT linear combinations. As far as finding a combination goes, I don't know how to prove dependence with just variables. You've pretty much narrowed it down for me, but I still don't get it.
Sep 11	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? @EuYu, The coefficients of v2 and v3 are linear combinations of one another. Thus, the family is not independent?
Sep 11	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? I think you are making typos that confused me, sorry for the confusion.
Sep 11	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? I'm a bit confused as there are no a1, a2, a3 or a4.
Sep 11	comment	How do I determine linear independence when I don't know the values of the vectors? If a = b = c = 0, wouldn't the coefficients just be 0? Did you mean the sum of the vectors in a family with different constants = 0?
