linear transformation.

Sol . Let x1 , x2 & then T ( x1 x2 ) ( x1 x2 ) 1 x1 x2 1 while
T ( x1 ) T ( x2 ) x1 1 x2 1 ( x1 x2 ) 2 .
Thus, T ( x1 x2 ) T ( x1 ) T ( x2 ) .
Also, T ( x) ( x) 1 and T ( x) ( x 1) Thus, T ( x) T ( x) .
T is not a linear operation.
Or equivalently T (0) 1 0 . Therefore T is not a linear transformation.

T is not satisfying homogeneity also. T is not linear.

Regular / Non Singular Transformation: A transformation Y AX is said to be
regular / non-singular if A is non singular matrix. The corresponding inverse
transformation is X A1Y .
Orthogonal Transformation : A transformation Y AX is said to orthogonal if the
matrix A is orthogonal matrix.
Orthogonal Matrix : Matrix A is said to be orthogonal matrix if AAT AT A I .
Note That :1) Every rotation matrix is an orthogonal matrix & vice versa.
2) Orthogonal transformation preserves the length.
If A is an orthogonal matrix, then || AX || || X || .
( || AX || 2 AX , AX | A | 2 X , X X , X || X || 2 )
3) If the matrix is orthogonal, then its rows and columns are orthonormal.
4) If A is orthogonal then | A | 1.
5) If for certain matrix A, | A | 1thenAmay or may not be orthogonal.
6) If for a matrix A, we observe that its rows (or columns) are orthogonal but
Columns (rows) are not, then it can be converted into an orthogonal matrix by
simply normalizing each row (column) of the matrix.
7) Orthogonal matrixA is always invertible and A1 AT .
