We'll consider linear transformations in R3 and R3 that transform familiar geometric shapes.Find an invertible linear transformation that maps the uni circle x2+y2=1 to the ellipse 1/4x2+1/9y2=1. By "maps the circle to the ellipse," we mean that every vector lying on the circle is sent to a vector lying on the ellipse. Is your answer unique? Justify rigorously.

We'll consider linear transformations in R3 and R3 that transform familiar geometric shapes.

Find an invertible linear transformation that maps the uni circle x2+y2=1 to the ellipse 1/4x2+1/9y2=1. By "maps the circle to the ellipse," we mean that every vector lying on the circle is sent to a vector lying on the ellipse. Is your answer unique? Justify rigorously.
