T: V-->W be linear.

Just see it.

a) some w's not hit, not onto.

You got A right.. B - [cos(u) , -sin(u)] [sin(u) , cos(u) ] Its late so i cant be bothered to explain this one C- [0 , 1] [1 , 0] Yhis is simple as reflection in that axes is just swappin the x,y co-ordinates D- [1 , 0] [0 , 0] disregarding the y compnent so just projecting onto x-axis. Similar idea for prjection onto y axis [0 , 0] [0 , 1]
