The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Since \(T\) is linear, \[ T(\alpha u+\beta v)=\alpha T(u)+\beta T(v) \] We express \((5,6)\) as a linear combination of \((1,2)\) and \((0,1)\).

Step 1: Express \((5,6)\).
Let \[ (5,6)=a(1,2)+b(0,1) \] Then, \[ a(1,2)+b(0,1)=(a,2a+b) \] So, \[ a=5 \] and \[ 2a+b=6 \] Substitute \(a=5\): \[ 10+b=6 \] \[ b=-4 \] Thus, \[ (5,6)=5(1,2)-4(0,1) \]

Step 2: Apply linearity.
\[ T(5,6)=5T(1,2)-4T(0,1) \] \[ =5(2,3)-4(1,4) \] \[ =(10,15)-(4,16) \] \[ =(6,-1) \]

Step 3: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{(6,-1)} \]
