Linear algebra Notation explained

What does it mean? I don't know how to think of it.

Also what does this exactly mean in combination with the T?

Final question is:

what does that mean? I don't know if I should give more context. I am trying to learn algebra but I cannot seem to understand the above 3.

Thanks in advance!

hi Migael

Welcome to the forum.

I have added

to post 1 so it shows as a matrix equation.

As the 'vectors' are 2 by 1 this means that T is a transformation matrix 2 by 2.

Only knowing how one vector is mapped is insufficient to determine the four elements of T.
