Solution

The rank of a linear transformation T plus the nullity of T equals the dimension of the domain U. This is known as the Rank-Nullity Theorem.

Here are the steps:

  1. The rank of a linear transformation T, denoted as rank(T), is the dimension of the image of T. It measures the number of linearly independent columns in the transformation matrix.

  2. The nullity of a linear transformation T, denoted as nullity(T), is the dimension of the kernel of T. It measures the number of vectors in the domain that are mapped to the zero vector in the codomain.

  3. The Rank-Nullity Theorem states that for any linear transformation T from a vector space U to a vector space V, the rank of T plus the nullity of T is equal to the dimension of U. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

    rank(T) + nullity(T) = dim(U)

This theorem is a fundamental result in linear algebra that provides a relationship between the dimensions of the domain, the image, and the kernel of a linear transformation.

We proved a theorem stating that for a linear mapping α : U → V , we havedim Kerα + dim Imα = dimU.A part of the proof went as follows. Assuming dim Kerα = m, there is a basis of Kerα consisting ofm vectors; denote them by u1, . . . , um. Since dim Imα = n, there is a basis of Imα consisting of nvectors; denote them by v1, . . . , vn. Since v1 is in Imα, there is w1 ∈ U such that α(w1) = v1, andsimilarly for all other vectors in the set v1, . . . , vn; in this way, we define n vectors w1, . . . , wn.Now consider a vector u ∈ U . Since α(u) is in Imα, we have α(u) = d1v1 + · · · + dnvn for somenumbers d1, . . . , dn. Consider a vector u′ ∈ U defined as u′ = d1w1 + · · · + dnwn.Prove that u − u′ ∈ Kerα.
