Are These Linear Transformations?
Problem 717
Define two functions $T:\R^{2}\to\R^{2}$ and $S:\R^{2}\to\R^{2}$ by
\[
T\left(
\begin{bmatrix}
x \\ y
\end{bmatrix}
\right)
=
\begin{bmatrix}
2x+y \\ 0
\end{bmatrix}
,\;
S\left(
\begin{bmatrix}
x \\ y
\end{bmatrix}
\right)
=
\begin{bmatrix}
x+y \\ xy
\end{bmatrix}
.
\]
Determine whether $T$, $S$, and the composite $S\circ T$ are linear transformations.
