(a) Let S:RtRmS : \mathbf{R}^t \to \mathbf{R}^m and T:RnRtT : \mathbf{R}^n \to \mathbf{R}^t be linear transformations, given by matrices AA and BB, respectively. Prove that the composition ST:RnRmS \circ T : \mathbf{R}^n \to \mathbf{R}^m is a linear transformation and is given by ABAB. (b) Let x=x1e1+x2e2x = x_1 e_1 + x_2 e_2, where e1e_1 and e2e_2 are unit basis vectors of R2\mathbf{R}^2. When does the equality x=0x = 0 hold? What does x=0x = 0 mean?
