b^1 = T_1^1 a^1 + T_2^1 a^2 + T_3^1 a^3

b^2 = T_1^2 a^1 + T_2^2 a^2 + T_3^2 a^3

b^3 = T_1^3 a^1 + T_2^3 a^2 + T_3^3 a^3

If T_j^i = \delta_j^i (where latex] \delta_j^i[/latex] is the Kronecker Delta) then

 T_1^1 =T_2^2 =T_3^3 = 1

and we have the following:

b^1 = T_1^1 a^1 = (1) a^1 = a^1

b^2 = T_2^2 a^2 = (1) a^2 = a^2

b^3 = T_3^3 a^3 = (1) a^3 = a^3

We can write the following, because we were given that T_j^i = \delta_j^i:

T_j^i a^i = b^i

\delta_j^i a^i = b^i
