to see this. You should get a pivot in each column.

(c) No, they do not form a basis because they do not span P3. (You would need 4 vectors to span P3.)
3. Let M2×2 be the vector space of 2×2 matrices with the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplication.
Define the linear transformation
T : M2×2 → M2×2
T(A) = A + A
T
,
where AT
is the transpose of A.
(a) Find the matrix representation of T relative to the basis ��1 0

(b) Find the dimension of the kernel of T.
Solution.
(a) The matrix representation is




2 0 0 0
0 1 1 0
0 1 1 0
0 0 0 2




.
(b) After row reducing the matrix from part (a) there is one free variable. So the dimension of the kernel is
1.

(b) Let A, B be n × n matrices, such that B is invertible. Is it true that
det(B
−1AB) = det(A)?
