Differentiate linear transformation

122 Views Asked by At

Looking at the answer of this question:

Show that the arc length of a curve is invariant under rigid transformation.

I don't understand why if $T$ is linear then

$$(T\circ \gamma)'(t)=T\circ \gamma'(t)$$

I will appreciate any comment to help me to understand

This is an application of the chain rule together with the fact that for any linear transformation $T,\ T'(x)=T:$

$(T\circ \gamma)'(t)=T'(\gamma (t))(\gamma'(t))=T(\gamma '(t))=T\circ \gamma'(t).$
