Question 12
Suppose the temperature () at a point in is given by the function
Let , , and be the tangent planes to the function at the points , , and , respectively. The set of points on each plane , , and form affine subspaces , , and , respectively, of the vector space , with respect to usual addition and scalar multiplication. Let , , and denote the vector subspaces corresponding to the affine subspaces , , and , respectively.
Answer the subquestions using the given information.
Let be a linear transformation between the vector subspaces and . Suppose the matrix representation of with respect to the ordered bases for and for is given by . Then which of the following mappings can be an affine mapping between the affine subspaces and , corresponding to ?
