One to one (nonsingular ) linear transformation
6.5 Properties of linear transformation
T(0)=T(0+0)=T(0)+T(0)
Hence T(0)=0 (Property 1)
Suppose transformation T is linear. Then
A transformation T is said to be one to one if
i.e., T(u)=T(v), then u=v
0=zero vector
22 Chew T S MA1506-14 Chapter 6
it never maps distinct vectors to the same vector
Property 2: Let T be a linear transformation.
Then the following properties are equivalent:
(1) T is 1-1
(2) If T(u)=0, then u=0=zero vector, i.e., only
one vector maps to zero vector, that vector is zero
Proof:
(1) implies (2)
Suppose T(u)=0. We know that T(0)=0
By (1), u=0
(2) implies (1)
Suppose T(u)=T(v). Then T(u-v)=0. By (2), u-v=0
23 Chew T S MA1506-14 Chapter 6
6.5 Properties of linear transformation
From now onwards, we only consider linear
transformations T from n-dim space to n-dim
space.
We know that T can be represented by a
square matrix A and Tu=Au. Here Au is
the multiplication of two matrices.
So properties of T can be induced from
properties of the square matrix
For example T(0)=0 (Property 1). It is clear
since A0=0
24 Chew T S MA1506-14 Chapter 6
6.5 Properties of linear transformation
Suppose T=nxn matrix A.
Then properties of T can be induced
from properties of A
From Chapter 5,Section 5.5, we know that
System of linear equations AX=B
has unique solution X , for any given n-dim vector B,
iff det(A) not zero
Hence if det(A) not zero, then T is 1-1(unique soln)
and onto (has soln)
25 Chew T S MA1506-14 Chapter 6
6.5 Properties of linear transformation
Example: Non Singular (1-1)Transformation
So is 1-1 linear transformation
from 2-dim space onto 2-dim space

Suppose linear transformation T=nxn matrix A
and det(A)=0
T is not 1-1 ( is singular)
Then from Chapter 5, Section 5.5, we know that
system of linear equations AX=0
has infinitely many solutions X
In other words,
TX=0 has infinitely many solutions X
Hence T maps
many nonzero vectors to zero vector
So T is not 1-1(is singular)

6.5 Properties of linear transformation
Rank
A transformation T from 3-D to 3-D has ONLY three
cases
Case1: det(T) not zero
T maps 3-d space ONTO 3-d space
Case 2: det(T)=0
For this case, we say T is of rank 3
T maps 3-d space ONTO a plane
For this case,
we say T is of rank 2
Subcase 1

The det of this matrix is zero
It maps 3-d space ONTO a plane. why?
Since the image is either a plane or a line,
see two subcases.
The image is not a line, so it should be a plane

(Why infinitely many solutions, see
