Let V = R^2×2 be the vector space of 2-by-2 matrices with real entries over
the scalar field R. We can define a function L on V by
L : V is sent to V
L = A maps to A^T ,
so that L is the “transpose operator.” The inner product of two matrices B in R^n×n and C in R^n×n is usually defined to be
<B,C> := trace (BC^T) ,
and we will use this as our inner product on V . Thus when we talk about
elements B,C in V being orthogonal, it means that <B,C> := trace (BC^T) = 0.
Problem 1.
1. First show that L is linear, so that L in B (V ).
2. Now choose a basis for the vector space V = R^2×2, and find the matrix of
L with respect to your basis.

Let V be the vector space of 2 × 2 real matrices and let P2 be the vector space of polynomials of degree less than or equal to 2. Write down a linear transformation T : V ? P2 with rank 2. You do not need to prove that the function you write down is a linear transformation, but you may want to check this yourself. You do, however, need to prove that your transformation has rank 2.
