QuestionWhat dimensions must matrix AA have to map R6\mathbb{R}^{6} to R7\mathbb{R}^{7} using T(x)=AxT(\mathbf{x})=A \mathbf{x}? A. 6 rows, 7 columns B. 6 rows, 6 columns C. 7 rows, 6 columns D. 7 rows, 7 columns

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The mapping is defined from R6\mathbb{R}^{6} to R7\mathbb{R}^{7}. . The mapping is defined by the rule (x)=Ax(\mathbf{x})=A \mathbf{x}, where AA is a matrix and x\mathbf{x} is a vector in R6\mathbb{R}^{6}.
3. We are looking for the number of rows and columns that the matrix AA must have.

STEP 2

In order for the matrix multiplication AxA \mathbf{x} to be defined, the number of columns in AA must be equal to the number of rows in x\mathbf{x}.

STEP 3

Since x\mathbf{x} is a vector in R6\mathbb{R}^{6}, it has6 rows. Therefore, the matrix AA must have6 columns.

STEP 4

The result of the matrix multiplication AxA \mathbf{x} is a vector in R7\mathbb{R}^{7}. This means that the result has7 rows.

STEP 5

In order for the result of the matrix multiplication to have7 rows, the matrix AA must also have7 rows.

STEP 6

Therefore, the matrix AA must have rows and6 columns.
The correct answer is C. The matrix A must have rows and6 columns.
