be the linear transformations in Examples Example 11 and Example 12. Find                  for
   (a)
   (b)
   (c)

32. (For Readers Who Have Studied Calculus) Let                be the vector space of functions continuous on  ,

and let  be the transformation defined by

Is T a linear operator?

              Indicate whether each statement is always true or sometimes false. Justify your answer by
         33. giving a logical argument or a counterexample. In each part, V and W are vector spaces.

         (a) If                                                for all vectors and in V and all scalars

                         and , then T is a linear transformation.

         (b) If is a nonzero vector in V, then there is exactly one linear transformation

                         such that                             .

         (c) There is exactly one linear transformation            for which
              for all vectors and in V.                                     defines a linear operator

         (d) If is a nonzero vector in V, then the formula
              on V.

              If is a basis for a vector space V, how many different linear operators can
         34. be created that map each vector in B back into B? Explain your reasoning.

              Refer to Section 4.4. Are the transformations from to that correspond to linear
         35. transformations from to necessarily linear transformations from to ?
