How do interpret the notation
T ( x 1 , x 2 ) = ( 3 x 1 , x 1 + 2 x 2 )
Is this a matrix transformation such that T ( x ) = [ 3 x 1 x 1 + 2 x 2 ] ?
If so, then am I correct to say the matrix must be A = [ 3 0 1 2 ] and x = [ x 1 x 2 ] , so
T ( x ) = [ 3 0 1 2 ] [ x 1 x 2 ] ;   T : R 2 R 2

You give a correct interpretation of the notation. Depending on the context, the underlying vector space may be F 2 for some other field F
If you use row vectors instead, you may write
T ( x ) = x A
where x = ( x 1 , x 2 ) and A = [ 3 1 0 2 ] .
