Step 1
Here the main objective is to find the linear transformation U,T:F2F2 such that UT+T0 but TU is not equal to T0
Where,
T0 is the zero linear transformation Step 2
Here on defining as follows,
T:F2F2 by T(x+y,0) for all (x,y)F2(1)
And U:F2F2 by U(x,y)=(y,y) for all (x,y)F2(2)
On computing UT
UT(x,y)=U(T(x,y))
By using (1)
UT(x,y)=U(x+y,0)
By using (2)
UT(x,y)=T0
Therefore
UT=T0forall(x,y)F2
Step 3
On computing TU
TU(x,y)=T(U(x,y))
By using (2)
TU(x,y)=T(y,y)
By using (1)
TU(x,y)=(y+y,y)=(2y,y)
Here,TU(x,y) is not equal to T0Therefore,TU is not equal to T0 for all (x,y)F2
Step 4
On calculating the matrices of the linear transformations U and T
The standard basis for R2 is {(1,0),(0,1)}
First on computing the matrix of U
Thus the definition of U is U(x,y)=(y,y)
U(1,0)=(0,0)
=0(1,0)+0(1,0)
U(0,1)=(1,1)
=1(1,0)+1(0,1)
Therefore the matrix of U with respect to the standard basis is A=[1100]
Step 5
On calculating the product of AN and BA as follows,
AB=[0101][1100]
=[0(1)+(1)00(1)+1(0)0(1)+1(0)0(1)+(1)0]
[0+00+00+00+0]
[0000]
=0
Step 6
The product of BA is as follows,
BA=[1100][0101]
AB=[0101][1100]
[0+00+01+10+0]
=[0200]
Therefore BA is not equal to 0
Therefore the matrices A and B of the linear transformations U and T respectively
This satisfies AB=0 but BA is not equal to 0
