(a) Find a linear transformation T : R2→R2 that (i) maps thex1-axis to itself, (ii) maps the x2-axis to itself, and (iii) mapsno other line through the origin to itself.

For example, the negating function (n: R2→R2 defined by n(x)=−x) satisfies (i) and (ii), but not (iii).

(b) The function that maps (x1, x2) to the perimeter of arectangle with side lengths x1 and x2 is not a linearfunction. Why?

For part (b) I can't come up with any counterexamples that showT(x+y) = T(x) + T(y) or that aT(x) = T(ax) isn't true, and when Itried to use a variables instead of numbers, I ended up showingthat it did satisfy both conditions. I'm not sure what I'mmissing.
