In this video, we're going to go through the answer to question number 27 from chapter 9 .4.
00:07
So we're asked to prove that the operator l, given by the derivative of x minus a times x, where a is an n by n by n matrix, we're asked to show that that is a linear operator.
00:18
So first we want to take two vectors, x and y, and two scalers, a and b.
00:27
Then we want to find the operator l operating on ax plus by.
00:42
Okay, so by definition of the operator l, this is, so it's going to be ax plus by, the derivative of that, minus matrix a times by vector ax plus b.
01:14
Okay, so that's just by definition of the operator l.
01:23
And then derivative of a sum is just the sum of the derivatives.
01:30
And then the derivative of a constant times a function is just a constant times by derivative of that function...
