• How to tell if a matrix is one-to-one?

• It is one to one if it only has trivial solution / columns are linearly independent.

• How to tell if a matrix is onto?

• If there is a pivot in every row.

• If given radians remember:

• cos -sin
  sin cos

• If given T(es) = (points)

• then it is columns.

• If given T(es) = (equations)

• then those are rows.

If a matrix is a rectangle

then it is linearly dependent.

If a matrix has a zero vector

then linearly dependent

If a matrix has a column that is a multiple of another

then linearly dependent
