### An Eigenvector is nothing more than a vector that points to some place. This pointing vector will then be invariant under linear transformations.Now my questions:- Ok so this vector is invariant. So what? (in my case for attitude determination algorithm I even less understand what this could give me as useful information)- how does a simple $4×4$ matrix actually represent a transformation?

### Prove that pre-multiplying a matrix ${A}_{m}$ by the elementary matrix obtained with any matrix elementary line transformation ${I}_{m}\underset{{l}_{1}↔{l}_{2}}{⟶}E$ is the same as applying said elementary line transformation on the matrix ${A}_{m}$

### Need a help please when I have a matrix with complex eigenvalues for example$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 1\\ -24& -29& -18\end{array}\right)$with its eigenvalues of: $-16.3$, $-0.844+0.871j$ and $-0.844-0.871j$Matrix A can be diagonalized to the classical known form of${A}_{\text{diag}}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-0.844+0.871j& 0& 0\\ 0& -0.844-0.871j& 0\\ 0& 0& -16.3\end{array}\right)$with a vandermone transformation matrixThe Question is I need a transformation matrix to transform matrix A to the form of matrix Ad (with no complex elements)${A}_{d}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-0.844& 0.871& 0\\ -0.871& -0.844& 0\\ 0& 0& -16.3\end{array}\right)$and this form called a quasi-diagonal matrix

### Finding inverse matrix ${A}^{-1}$ and I was given hint that I could firstly find inverse matrix to matrix B which is transformed from A.$A=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}1& 3& 9& 27\\ 3& 3& 9& 27\\ 9& 9& 9& 27\\ 27& 27& 27& 27\end{array}\right)$$B=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}1& 3& 9& 27\\ 1& 1& 3& 9\\ 1& 1& 1& 3\\ 1& 1& 1& 1\end{array}\right)$I found that that ${B}^{-1}$ is${B}^{-1}=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}-\frac{1}{2}& \frac{3}{2}& 0& 0\\ \frac{1}{2}& -2& \frac{3}{2}& 0\\ 0& \frac{1}{2}& -2& \frac{3}{2}\\ 0& 0& \frac{1}{2}& -\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right)$I don't know how to continue. What rule do I use to find ${A}^{-1}$?

### Find the transformation matrix:$F\left(v\right)=\frac{{d}^{2}v}{d{v}^{2}}$Basis: $1,x,{x}^{2},{x}^{3}$ and ${\mathbb{R}}_{3}\left[x\right]$ - the set of all third degree polynomials of variable $x$ over $\mathbb{R}$ Assume that all coefficients of the polynomials are $1$The first thing that springs to my mind is to calculate this derivative by hand, and so we got$\frac{{d}^{2}y}{d{y}^{2}}=2+6x$Now, we need to put these values - $2$ and $6$ in such a matrix that - when multiplied by the basis vector -will give us $2+6x$ But there are many ways I can think of, for example$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0& 0& 2& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 6\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$Or maybe$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}2& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 6& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$Because both of them, when multiplied by$\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ x\\ {x}^{2}\\ {x}^{3}\end{array}\right]$Will give the correct answer. Thus, what is the correct way to solve this?

### Consider in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2}$ the set of points satisfying the equation (you can use matlab for this). How are these points transformed by the following matrix:$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2& -1\\ -1& 1\end{array}\right]$[Show the transformed set and plot it – you can use matlab again]I could be mistaken but would the matrix be$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2& -1-2\end{array}\right]?$After that I am very stuck. Thanks

### In an affine transformation $x↦Ax+b$, $b$ represents the translation; but what does the matrix A represent exactly? In a 2D example, $A$ is a $2×2$ matrix, but what does each term represent?

### Transformation matrix for matrix indices to cartesian coordinates(1,1) (1,2) (1,3)(2,1) (2,2) (2,3)(3,1) (3,2) (3,3)This is an example 3x3 matrix. In corresponding cartesian coordinate system, the representation would be:(-1,1) (0,1) (1,1)(-1,0) (0,0) (1,0)(-1,1) (0,-1) (1,-1)Say, I have any square matrix with dimension-N, where N is odd. I need a generic transformation matrix such that I can get a vector as cartesian coordinates from matrix indices. Does such a function already exist? How should I go ahead in implementing this?

### Let $v\in {T}_{2}\left(V\right)$ be a bilinear form over finite space V. Let T be a Linear transformation $V\to V$. We define: ${v}_{T}\left(x,y\right)=v\left(T\left(x\right),y\right)$Assuming $v$ is nondegenerate, let us have another bilinear form $\xi \in {T}_{2}\left(V\right)$. Prove that there exists exactly one transformation $T$ so $\xi ={v}_{T}$.

### Let's say we define the orientation of the ellipsoid from its major axis (the largest axis of the ellipsoid). Assuming the 3 axes of the ellipsoid to be on the three coordinates with lengths of $a$, $b$ and $c$ along each axis (with $a\ge b$ and $a\ge c$), then only a single affine transformation (to a sphere) is necessary:$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& b& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& c& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]$Now, if we first rotate the major axis by $\theta$ from the first axis towards the second axis, and then rotate it by $\varphi$ from the (rotated) first axis towards the third axis, the combined affine transformation becomes:$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& b& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& c& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}cos\theta & -sin\theta & 0& 0\\ sin\theta & cos\theta & 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}cos\varphi & 0& -sin\varphi & 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0\\ sin\varphi & 0& cos\varphi & 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]$Is the multiplied matrix (from left to right) the correct affine transformation that must go into the equations in the links above?

Find a basis of ${P}_{3}\left(\mathbb{R}\right)$ and a basis of ${P}_{2}\left(\mathbb{R}\right)$ such that the matrix of T with respect to these basis is $\left(\begin{array}{cccc}1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 1& 0\end{array}\right)$

### I have a rectangle with center $\left({x}_{1},{y}_{1}\right)$ and sides $a,b$ where side $a$ is parallel to axis $Ox$.
