    Hint for problem 80 in section 2.4: The line from P_1 to P_3 should be dotted in the figure, being in the back. Note that the plane through P_0, P_1, P_3 is orthogonal to the line spanned by P_2, since P_1-P_0 is orthogonal to P_2 and P_3-P_0 is orthogonal to P_2. Furthermore, the line spanned by P_2 intersects this plane at the center (P_0+P_1+P_3)/3=-(1/3)P_2 of the triangle with vertices P_0, P_1, P_3. Finally, the latter triangle has edges of equal length. Hence the rotation about its center permutes its vertices cyclically. Thus, T permutes the set of vectors P_0, P_1, P_3 cyclically.

  • Let V be an n-dimensional vector space with basis {v_1, ..., v_n}, [ ]:V -> R^n the coordinate linear transformation, and S:R^n->V its inverse, given by S(c_1, ... c_n)=c_1v_1+ ... +c_nv_n. Let T:V->V be a linear transformation. We get the composite linear transformation from R^n to R^n, mapping a vector x to [T(S(x))], i.e., to the coordinate vector in R^n of the vector T(S(x)) in V. Being linear, the above transformation is given by multiplication by a square n by n matrix B, i.e., [T(S(x))]=Bx, for all x in R^n. The matrix B is called the matrix of T in the given basis (section 4.3). Its i-th column, by definition, is b_i=Be_i=[T(S(e_i))]=[T(v_i)]. Thus, the i-th column of B is the coordinate vector of T(v_i). The determinant det(T) is defined to be det(B) (Def 6.2.11). Use the equation b_i=[T(v_i)] and the standard basis {1, x, x^2} of P_2 and the standard basis of R^{2 x 2} to solve the following problems in section 6.2 page 273:
