A=(120011) and B=(305201).A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \text{ and } B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 \\ 5 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}.

a) What are the domains and codomains of SS and TT? Why is the composite transformation STS \circ T defined? What are the domain and the codomain of STS \circ T? b) Let x=(x1x2)x = \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{pmatrix}.
