Help.. :)

I find the matrix of the map to:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And i found the map to be invertible because rank=3=n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how do I determine if the map are isometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A linear map with matrix A is an Isometry if : \[\Large\|Ax\|=\|x\|,\quad \forall x\in \mathbb R^n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will you take me step-by-step? Please :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK ! First, we have : \[Ax=\begin{pmatrix}1&1&1\\1&0&1\\0&0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\\z\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}x+y+z\\x+y\\z\end{pmatrix}\Rightarrow \|Ax\|=\sqrt{(x+y+z)^2+(y+z)^2+z^2}\] When we take : \[x=\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}\] then : \[\|Ax\|=\sqrt{3^2+2^2+1^2}=\sqrt{14}\\ \|x\|=\sqrt{1^2+1^2+1^2}=\sqrt3\ne \|Ax\|\] So, this map is not an isometry

Great.. Thank you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are my first two results correct? Can you see that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the matrix or the map in the standard bases we have to find : \[\Large Ae_1,~Ae_2~~\text{ and }~~Ae_3 \] Where : \[\Large e_1=\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}~~~,~~e_2=\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}~~~\text{and}~~~e_3=\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{pmatrix}.\]
