Ker(T)0VWR(T)VW3.1.5 Theorem Let T:V → W be a linear transformation. Then R(T) is a subspace of W,and ker(T) is a subspace of V.3.1.6 Example(1) Let T A: R n → R m be the linear transformation defined by T A(u)=Au, whereA is an m× n matrix. Then ker(T A) ={ u: T A(u)=0} ={u: Au=0}, which is actually thenullspace of A . Also R(T A)={ Au: u is an arbitrary vector in R n }, so it is the columnspace of A.(2 ) Let V be a vector space. Define F: V → V by F(u)=3u, for all u in V. ThenF is a linear transformation. What is ker(F) and R(F) ?(3) Let T: P n→ P n −1be the derivative function. Then
