Identity Matrix
In is an n × n matrix with 1’s on the main left to right
diagonal and 0’s elsewhere. The ith column of In is labeled
ei .

Linear Transformation
From Section 1.8, if T : Rn → Rm is a linear transformation,
then
T (cu + d v) =cT (u) +d T (v).
Generalized Result
T (c1v1 + · · · + cp vp ) =c1T (v1) + · · · + cp T
(vp ).
