Theorem: If Vis a finite dimensional vector space over a field F, with (v4. ¥p. a Yq) as a basis and W is another vector space over the same field containing the arbitrary vector {W,W2,..,¥,) (Which may be linearly dependent or equal to each oxher) there exists a unique linear transformation T : V—> W such that Tw) = 0; if For example, let us find 7: R? -» R° defined by T(1, 2) =(2,1,-1) Since (1,2) and (0, 1) are linearly independent, they form a basis of R®. The vectors (3, -1, 5) and (2, 1, -1) have been arbitrarily chosen in R® Now (a,b) = c\(1, 2) +¢,(0,1) . ¢,=aandc,=b-2a *. Ta, b) = a(3, -1, 5) + (b= 2a) (2, 1-1) = (2b - a, b — 3a, 7a ~ b), which is the unique linear transformation in 3,1, 5) and 710, 1) required. 2.2 NULL SPACE AND RANGE SPACE Definitions: If V and W are vector spaces over the field F andif 7: V—> Wis a linear transformation, the set of all vectors v in V such that 7(v) = 0 is called the null space of or kernel of T and denoted by Np. The set of all vector w is W such that T(v) = w, v € Vis called the range space or the image space of T and denoted by Ry. Note & Null space of T is a subspace of V and range space of T is a subspace of Ww) If Vis finite dimensional, the dimension of the range of Tis called the rank of T and that of the null space of Tis called the nullity of T Dimension Theorem The sum of the dimension of the range space and null space of a linear transformation is equal to the dimension of its domain viz., if V and W are vector spaces over the field F and if T: V—> Wis a linear transformation and if Vis finite dimensional, then rank (7) + nullity (1) = dim (V).
