Let A and U be as shown below, and define a transformation T:ℝ3 → ℝ2 by T(V) = AV. Find T(U).

A = −1 0 −1
−5 0 3
U = −1 −5 1

To find T(U), we need to find the image of the vector U under the transformation T.

Given that T(V) = AV, where V is a vector in ℝ^3, we can find T(U) by multiplying the matrix A by the vector U.

To do this, let's first write out the matrix A:

A = -1 0 -1
-5 0 3

And the vector U:

U = -1
-5
1

Now, to compute T(U), we multiply the matrix A by the vector U using matrix multiplication:

T(U) = A * U

= -1 0 -1 * -1
-5 0 3 -5
1

To perform the matrix multiplication, we multiply corresponding elements and sum them up:

T(U) = (-1 * -1) + (0 * -5) + (-1 * 1)
(-5 * -1) + (0 * -5) + (3 * 1)

= 1 + 0 - 1
5 + 0 + 3

= 0
8

Therefore, T(U) = <0, 8>.
