Here's what I would have submitted: Question 1: A, B, D, and M have pivots in every row, so they're onto. B and E have pivots in every column, so they're one-to-one. Question 2: T takes e1 to e2, then to e1, then to e1. T takes e2 to -e1, then to -e2, then to 0. So the matrix is [T(e1) T(e2)]=[e1 0], or [1 0] [0 0]. Question 3: L(e1+e3)=L(1/2((e1+e2+e3)+(e1-e2+e3))) =1/2(L((e1+e2+e3)+(e1-e2+e3))=1/2(L(e1+e2+e3)+L(e1-e2+e3)) =1/2(5+1) =3.
