Answer:

y= -1x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be y=mx+b

M= slope, and B=y-intercept

If you look at a graph and use the slope to get to the Y-intercept you'll see that it is -6, and so you would just plug that into the equation along with the slope :)

The Hawks have 112 games which is 60% of the games they have played this year how many games have the Hawks played this season

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

187 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many games have the Hawks played this season

Numbers of games played=112 games/0.60

Numbers of games played=187 games

Therefore the numbers of games that Hawks

have played this season is 187 games

Assume {v1, . . . , vn} is a basis of a vector space V , and T : V ------> W is an isomorphism where W is another vector spac

Degger [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that $w_1,\dots w_n$ form a basis for W, we must check that this set is a set of linearly independent vector and it generates the whole space W. We are given that T is an isomorphism. That is, T is injective and surjective. A linear transformation is injective if and only if it maps the zero of the domain vector space to the codomain's zero and that is the only vector that is mapped to 0. Also, a linear transformation is surjective if for every vector w in W there exists v in V such that T(v) =w

Recall that the set $w_1,\dots w_n$ is linearly independent if and only if the equation

$\lambda_1w_1+\dots \lambda_n w_n=0$ implies that

$\lambda_1 = \cdots = \lambda_n$ .

Recall that $w_i = T(v_i)$ for i=1,...,n. Consider $T^{-1}$ to be the inverse transformation of T. Consider the equation

$\lambda_1w_1+\dots \lambda_n w_n=0$

If we apply $T^{-1}$ to this equation, then, we get

$T^{-1}(\lambda_1w_1+\dots \lambda_n w_n) =T^{-1}(0) = 0$

Since T is linear, its inverse is also linear, hence

$T^{-1}(\lambda_1w_1+\dots \lambda_n w_n) = \lambda_1T^{-1}(w_1)+\dots + \lambda_nT^{-1}(w_n)=0$

which is equivalent to the equation

$\lambda_1v_1+\dots + \lambda_nv_n =0$

Since $v_1,\dots,v_n$ are linearly independt, this implies that $\lambda_1=\dots \lambda_n =0$ , so the set $\{w_1, \dots, w_n\}$ is linearly independent.

Now, we will prove that this set generates W. To do so, let w be a vector in W. We must prove that there exist $a_1, \dots a_n$ such that

$w = a_1w_1+\dots+a_nw_n$

Since T is surjective, there exists a vector v in V such that T(v) = w. Since $v_1,\dots, v_n$ is a basis of v, there exist $a_1,\dots a_n$ , such that

$a_1v_1+\dots a_nv_n=v$

Then, applying T on both sides, we have that

$T(a_1v_1+\dots a_nv_n)=a_1T(v_1)+\dots a_n T(v_n) = a_1w_1+\dots a_n w_n= T(v) =w$

which proves that $w_1,\dots w_n$ generate the whole space W. Hence, the set $\{w_1, \dots, w_n\}$ is a basis of W.

Consider the linear transformation $T:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}^2$ , given by T(x,y) = T(x,0). This transformations fails to be injective, since T(1,2) = T(1,3) = (1,0). Consider the base of $\mathbb{R}^2$ given by (1,0), (0,1). We have that T(1,0) = (1,0), T(0,1) = (0,0). This set is not linearly independent, and hence cannot be a base of $\mathbb{R}^2$
