Original question and givens

Use the complete rectangular matrix A=[[9, -3, 3], [-1, -9, -5]] as a map from its column-coordinate space to its row-coordinate space, both over the reals. Matrix distributivity is a universal coordinate certificate. All vectors and any bias must have their respective input/output dimensions. Finite samples do not establish linearity of an arbitrary black box, or imply injectivity, surjectivity, boundedness or continuity beyond the stated claim. u=[1, -1, -3], v=[5, 1, -1], alpha=-1, beta=-3; no bias is supplied. Give (alpha,beta,combined,lhs=A*combined,rhs=alpha*A*u+beta*A*v,equal?,matrix_formula_universal_certificate).
