To determine whether the linear transformation T is a one-to-one mapping, we need to examine the rank of the matrix A. If the rank of A is equal to the number of columns in A, then T is one-to-one.
Let's calculate the rank of the matrix A using row operations:
[75491061641281278625]
Performing row operations, we can reduce the matrix to its row echelon form:
[123013010100120000]
From the row echelon form, we can see that there are three pivots, which means the rank of A is 3. The number of columns in A is also 4. Since the rank of A is equal to the number of columns, the linear transformation T is a one-to-one mapping.
To determine if Rn is mapped onto Rm, we need to check if the range of the linear transformation T spans the entire Rm. If the rank of A is equal to m, then Rn is mapped onto Rm.
In this case, we have a 4x4 matrix A and the rank of A is 3. Since the rank of A is less than the number of columns, Rn is not mapped onto R^m. The range of T does not span the entire Rm.
