Since it must be
T 2 ( 2 3 ) = T ( T ( 2 3 ) ) = T ( 1 1 ) = ( 1 2 )
we get, wrt the standard basis, first that
( 1 0 ) = ( 1 ) ( 2 3 ) + 3 ( 1 1 ) ( 0 1 ) = 1 ( 2 3 ) + ( 2 ) ( 1 1 )
we get that
T ( 1 0 ) := T ( 1 ( 2 3 ) + 3 ( 1 1 ) ) = 1 ( 1 1 ) + 3 ( 1 2 ) = ( 2 5 ) = 2 ( 1 0 ) + 5 ( 0 1 ) T ( 0 1 ) = T ( 1 ( 2 3 ) 2 ( 1 1 ) ) = ( 1 1 ) 2 ( 1 2 ) = ( 1 3 ) = ( 1 ) ( 1 0 ) + ( 3 ) ( 0 1 )
and I thus get the matrix
( 2 1 5 3 )

The linear transformation T is defined by
T ( ( 2 , 3 ) T ) = ( 1 , 1 ) T and T ( ( 1 , 1 ) T ) = ( 1 , 2 ) T
since B = ( ( 2 , 3 ) T , ( 1 , 1 ) T ) is a basis for R 2 R 2 . Let P the matrix change from the standard basis to B then
P = ( 2 1 3 1 )
so the matrix of T relative to the standard basis is given by
[ T ] = ( 1 1 1 2 ) P 1 = ( 2 1 5 3 )
