Given Matrix transformation matrix
A=(111022003)
Are there vectors in R3 that do not change under this transformation, i.e. such that T(u)=u? Explain why yes or why not.

Step 1
Let
u=(λ00)
for any λ
A little work shows that these are the only solutions to
Au=u
A note: no matter what linear transformation you have, T(0)=0 is always true, but sometimes students forget to state the whole problem, so I posted a complete set of solutions just in case

Step 1
(111022003)(xyz)=(xyz)(x+y+z2y+2z3z)
=(xyz)(y+zy+2z2z)=(000).
Third equation gives z=0 and first equation gives y=0. So,
(111022003)(x00)=(x00)
for any xR.
