A linear transformation acts on R 2 by first doubling the x-coordinate and then rotating the plane by an angle of π / 2 ( 90 ) counter-clockwise. What is the corresponding matrix to this linear transformation?

Hint: Any linear transformation of R 2 is fully determined by where it sends the standard basis vectors of R 2 , namely i = [ 1 , 0 ] and j = [ 0 , 1 ]. Can you determine what happens to these basis vectors under your linear transformation? Also, if you know what happens to these basis vectors, do you know how to find the matrix corresponding to that linear transformation in that basis?
